    After plowing for two days and not getting up, I was ready to give up. Resorting to this video made all the difference. I immediately got up the next time I tried. After that again and again, the wake board launch was no longer an issue. Thank you for your great advice Shaun! What a fun sport!

This video is awesome!!!! We did as we were instructed and he didn't plow or get strained from the rope. Super happy folks like you take the time to create content like this!!!!

    This is my new go to video to make people watch before going out. I've had a hard time explaining the "wing" concept to new riders. I can usually get lighter riders and girls up pretty easy, but it's the bigger, stronger guys that struggle trying to muscle it up. I finally tried this slow start method to get the board under him before accelerating and was able to get it to click for him.

    We were out at the lake today and two families were trying to wake board for the first time. I have always been a skier, never tried a wake board. They asked if we knew what to do. So I went to the camper, got my iPad, found your video, walked out in the water to the wake boarder, told him to watch, and away he went, along with every other member of their family. I did not know them, but I could tell they had never even seen a wake boarder (?) so I figured this had to help. They now have one happy family. From age 12 to 16

    These instructional videos are absolutely golden! We should be paying you to make these! I like how you give the dry-land instruction with the small video inserts, and the same instructions from the water perspective. There is nothing else like this video on the web. Well done!
    I've had a few people try and try to get up on a wakeboard without success, even after I exhausted all of my tips. Once you get up, it's mind-blowing how easy it is. Some people just can't get the concept of letting the board be like a wing. It's so frustrating because I just want them to experience the fun too!
    The thought and quality of your video is ridic. Your video even shows the board under water with the proper angle! Nice! I'll be showing this video to any new riders from now on.

    This video got a 50 year old dad bod wake boarding in two tries, every time I started to plow water, I would follow his tip amd trim board back under water and gradually worked my way back to surface. Without this video, it never would have work because I was going to treat it like water skiing which would have been all wrong. Great job on this video!!! Thank you so much!

    • @Shaun.Murray

I almost made my first wake to wake! Thanks to you I know the last steps I need to take (fundamentals video) to get there :)

    Thanks so much Shaun for what you do! I am 38 and tried boarding for the first time this summer, with only doing some watersports back in high school. Thanks to your video(s) I was able to get up on the first time out! And I only have a regular bowrider inboard/outboard boat with no tower so I was hesitant on even trying. Went a couple more times before end of the season and was able to ride and go outside of the wake so I am really looking forward to next season to keep going and will be watching your content for sure!

    First time “wake boarder” here… I am in my sixties, and I wanted to give wake board a try with my son ( 14 years old) using our 2021 BRP Sea Doo wake!
    We didn’t know much about wake boarding so we decided to watch this video that we found here on RUclips.
    Well, believe it or not but we applied the advices Shaun is showing in this Video and we just love the experience… we both were up and running on the board in a snap!
    Shaun is really a good coach and his explanations are right to the point!
    If newcomers to the sport don’t want to loose time and energy trying over and over without much success, I really recommend watching this video!
    Great job Shaun for everything, the advices, the Video montage and the sound is clear… well done!!!

    This helped so much! I had lost weight, worked out, but kept plowing, and couldn’t get up. I figured I had lost it and couldn’t do it anymore. (Haven’t wake boarded for a long time). The roll forward and letting the board fly underwater tip is so simple but brilliant. Also the driver not having to hammer down to get the wake boarder up was pleasant surprise as well. Thank you!

    The best tip's and learning video ever!!!!
    Long time ago, I used to water ski. The key then was to have the ski tip outside the water always; with the Wakeboard I tried to do the same. The plow was so hard impossible to resist (I weight 220; strong) never could go out with the wakeboard. Yesturday, in my first try I was out like nothing; so easy, so easy the wing was the key for me!

    Good tips Shaun. I find it much easier to get up when the board has a chance to plane up to the surface first, versus trying to muscle it up. This typically happens for me on occasion when I’m not trying too hard. Definitely will be incorporating this for myself and when helping my granddaughter on her board.

I get them sitting in the water, feet on the edge of the platform, then pass them the handle. This way, you can pull them out of the water with the handle, and they will see for themselves when they stay in a ball you can pull them up with two fingers. I then get them to straighten their legs and demonstrate how immensely this increases the force on the handle.

    Board as a Wing not as a Plow made all the difference in the world. older people who couldn't get up, now pop up easily even when being pulled from a lowly Sea-Doo Spark. not much power needed now, on the boat, and mostly on your back. THANK YOU!!

    Shaun, thanks for this vid for beginners. Had my two sons out. one was up no worries smashing the throttle my other son had a hard time that day and wasn’t keen on day two . That campfire night I found your video and tried your technique out the next day my son who gets up under full throttle loved how easy you describe and my other son was up within 3 attempts mainly from balance. Love it my turn next from driver to wakeboarding before my 60th. I hope lol thanks. From Australia, Cairns,Fong On Bay is our lake!!

    I'm 50 years old and my boys and I went to OWC a couple weeks ago while on a Disney trip with and we all were easily able to get off the dock on the standard cable and fast cable with the standard rental boards (with fins). Got slider boards and had fun on the standard cable hitting the features. Best part of my vacation!! Back to Houston, found my local cable park, and can't get off the dock -- feels very fast. Love to see one of your instructional videos on getting off the dock - (whether sitting or standing) whatever you recommend for an old duffer about 5' 11", 200 lbs.

      Awesome to hear you had a good experience initially and know the potential for more fun. Interesting/bummer that you had a tougher time in Houston. Could be faster, smaller board, or some other factor. I'll add the cable dock start idea to my list so thanks for the input Randall!

    I'm 50+ and enjoy all kinds of fun adrenaline activities like this. I had opportunity to wakeboard yesterday and did not go well getting up. I RUclips'd how to get up and found this. On 2nd attempt going slow like he does in vid and with Wing technique he shares, I got up!! Thank You!! ✌️😀

  • @martijnjansen170
    @martijnjansen170 2 года назад

    Thanks man, the plowing matter ... got that now and is also a safety matter, when I kept hanging too much and the power overwhelmed (hence too much power also) my fingers got jammed between the handle and the board big time. So, when using the board as a wing and keep the line clear away off the board and glide up like a wing, got up with normal stress on the body. After a few runs, knowing the body / feet position that works (safely), then more accelaration helped also. Thanks man. Still much to learn but that is what it makes fun for this 48 year dude. Thanks for being inspirational and giving focus!

    Hey Shaun just wanted to say a massive thanks. Before watching your video I spent my first day plowing and straining my back... Didn't get up a single time and actually thought I'd broken my finger having it ripped into the board.
    After watching this video, and keeping in mind that "it's a wing, not a plow", I got up first try, and ended up doing a 6 minute run using your principals. Wakeboarding was an incredible experience and absolutely a highlight of my vacation.
    Just felt you should know your video creates a LOT more joy than you may be aware of. Thank you so much again for sharing your excellent and crucial knowledge, sir!
