Your videos have helped me out a lot man I just started wakeboarding for like a month an a half and I just hit my first wake to wake jump last weekend and if it hadn’t been for your videos I wouldn’t have been anywhere near as good as I am now I really wanna get good at wake boarding cause it is such a great exercise an it is just the most fun Thing I have ever done on the water! Keep posting the videos bro , just from listening and watching you I’ve learned a lot!
David! Your videos have helped me improve so much this summer! I've gone from an okay rider to actually being able to impress people at the cable! Unfortunately, I just dislocated my shoulder the other day so I'm out for a bit. Your vids entertain me even though I can't currently ride. Keep up the good work man!
What's incredible is that just by watching the tricks, I can't tell which side is regular and which side is switch. That's pretty incredible and pretty inspiring that they look almost the exact same going both ways.
Any of your vids are very inspirational an you make things easy to understand an just go out there an try. So just keep doing what your doing. Great vids love them all
Yeah! It pretty cool to see some details of everyday staff not directly related to wakeboarding. Anyway, you r kinda nice person, so it would be interesting to watch! ;) And also, this Irishness definitely brings additional charm to your videos!
Dude, love the vlog style and good job with the B-Roll footage... actually like it a lot more than straight into it. Should always vlog style my friend! Made myself ride switch for over half a season when I was young... still paid off to this day... now I just gotta get out there and knock the cobwebs off and ride a lot more than I do!
Really like the vlog style on the videos man! Gonna try more switch riding! Had a good time ride tonight but having a hard time clearing wake-wake, always end up like 1m from clearing. Guess i have to shorten my rope and work on the progressiv edge even more.
Loved the video, i have been learning switch behind the boat by making myself get up switch and riding and edging then when i feel ready to ride normally i just do a quick 180. I feel it is helping me learn quicker. But loved the video and the lake looked amazing💯
And i love vlogs and when you go straight to the point, you are just always pushing out great content, do what you feel is better or just mix it up every other video.
Cody Mason that's amazing Cody!! That's the right way to do it too so keep it up!! Oh and thanks, yeah I think a mix is the best way to do it for sure! Thanks Cody!
When you land a new trick for the first time, what steps do you take after? I like to make sure I can do it 3 times in a row regular first. Do you immediately try it switch or toeside?
Andrew J yeah, I 100% agree. Get it 3 times in a row to solidify it. Then it's up to you, but like ideally learn it soonish afterwards if your switch is strong!
Landed my first kicker today, super pumped! So I've only tried switch a couple time, would you recommend trying it behind a boat, or on cable, or does it matter?
Your video editing has gone to a new level in this one 👍🏻 I think you are onto something I would start to have faith in your talent outside of wakeboarding (vlogging) and I think you could throw a few videos in that dont focus on wakeboarding - it probably feels like a ballsy move but I reckon worth an experiment! Nice work though it takes masses of effort I dont envy vloggers!
I'd like to speak with you Re: ideas for merchandising and growing your brand (if you are interested). After the world games I would assume. Its something I do for a living btw.
Hey man, love all your videos bro! Me and my girlfriend cable wakeboard and was wondering wether you could do a video on ollieing higher. Would much appreciate it man and keep up the great work!
thanks Daniel, and yeah i'll try to include it. But basically just try and get a bit more weight on the back foot before taking off. And also do it flat on the board, not on edge
Personally I prefer "to the point", but the vlog stuff is easy enough to skip through for those that don't care for it. Something you might talk about sometime - boat speed. What's best? go for what makes the best wake on the boat setup you have, or is there more to it? I generally ride around 21mph but I'm going to try a few different speeds this afternoon. :-)
I like straight to the point but vlog is cool too. can you do a tricks 101 for someone starting out doing tricks for the first time? like what's the first trick you should start with etc thanks, I enjoy your videos
Most definitely stick with the vlog style. There are a ton of wakeboarding videos. Your videos are more interesting because of your commentary and letting us in to a bit of your life. Ride Safe!
Can i be your next door neighbour please? it is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!! everytime i watch your vid filmed around your home i get so jealous!! i like your channel because it has different styles and contents. i personnally like your tutorials like 'mastering the basics of wakebaording' because it is VERY informative, straightforward and super clearly expalined! there is no other wakeboarding tutorials like that out there. it really helps when i go out and try it myself. i also love your vid like 'old school wakebaording is back' ( my fav wakeboarding vid in the world!) and the other ones with you try different things for fun or you traveling around the world. i quite like the way you group the vids at the moment. you have different styles for each group and they serve the purpose perfectly well i think. it gives your channel diversity as well. i think people like your channel because you have your own colours.20K subscribers mean that you are doing something right :) whatever you want to do, please keep sharing with us! :D
Hey Bella, thanks so much. haha yeah it's a super nice country to be in!! Also, massive thanks for taking the time to give me all that feedback, i'll 100% keep everything in mind when making videos!!
Yoooo it's an O'Neill one. They sent it to me (i'm not sponsored they just hooked me up). I can't find it on the site, maybe it's a prototype or something from their next season. Not sure
man thats the problem, it never felt awkward or strange to wakeboard normal stance for me, it kinda just worked (guess from some snow- and skateboard experience, which i both also suck at going switch) xD
Izelude ohhh. Well I guess if you think back to when you first started, you've definitely got more comfortable on the board; so same with switch. Just start and you'll be flying in no time
Love the vids! Thanks for making them time in time again! Quick question please, do you think or how much do you think not having your own board while trying to get better at wakeboarding and using boards at cable parks given to u (open toe; closed toe, 138 then a 140, next time a 141) slows down your progression? Big thanks again and keep shredding! :D
Hey RJ, thanks a million. So yeah, it definitely doesnt help, but it's not the end of the world. I think if you're at a beginner to intermediate level, you may not notice the board differences as much (except maybe open and closed toe). So what i'd say is, if you come into some spare cash, then 100% try get your own setup, but if you just can't afford it, no massive stress, you'll still progress!
It always blows my mind how you find the time to answer to all of us! That's what makes you a great youtuber, inspiration and genuine cool lad! Thanks for the feedback!
can you make a vid on how to start to ride switch, i don't know whether to get up switch or try and do it once im already up, i ride goofy fine but when i try to go normal my board seems to want to go to the left, tips please
Hi David! Could you please give me any tips for landing a 720 on cable? My problem when doing a 5 is I can't keep the handle close to my body. I start the spin with the handle close but land with my arm stretched out and the line is pulling a lot.
Hey , quick question about going toe side if you see this. When I try stuff toe side I feel like I'm not angled towards the wake enough to clear the wake any tips?
hey, yeah this is common, there can actually be a few reason why this is happening to you. Most likely, you're shoulders are open to the boat. Try get them parallel to the board on your approach
not spam haha, yeah, intermediate i'd maybe look at something like the O'Brien indy, i think it's an awesome board on the cable for all levels really. The SOB that i ride would be great at all levels too
Vlog style is super fun, your video editing is amazing!
thank youuu! :)
Your videos have helped me out a lot man I just started wakeboarding for like a month an a half and I just hit my first wake to wake jump last weekend and if it hadn’t been for your videos I wouldn’t have been anywhere near as good as I am now I really wanna get good at wake boarding cause it is such a great exercise an it is just the most fun Thing I have ever done on the water! Keep posting the videos bro , just from listening and watching you I’ve learned a lot!
These vids and challenge vids are my favourite to watch of yours.
Ryan Williams unreal! I love making the challenges too! Haha
A vlog every 3-4 vids is nice but I like to the point and learning techniques for the most part. Keep up the good work my friend!
Tyler Champion good to know! Thank you!!
all the videos are good, thanks for taking the time to do them!
Just bought my first wakeboard! O'brien Valhalla!
Ampelios yessss! Thank you for the support! 👊🏻👊🏻
I bought a valhalla 2021 so exited for it to be delivered
Bro learned a backroll for the first time a couple weeks ago and your vids helped a ton. Thanks!!
Brady!! Firstly, congrats!! That's amazing!! And thanks for letting me know! Always brilliant to hear that!
David! Your videos have helped me improve so much this summer! I've gone from an okay rider to actually being able to impress people at the cable! Unfortunately, I just dislocated my shoulder the other day so I'm out for a bit. Your vids entertain me even though I can't currently ride. Keep up the good work man!
i love that, but devastated to hear about your shoulder. Take it easy on it and hopefully you're back on the water in no time!
What's incredible is that just by watching the tricks, I can't tell which side is regular and which side is switch. That's pretty incredible and pretty inspiring that they look almost the exact same going both ways.
Any of your vids are very inspirational an you make things easy to understand an just go out there an try. So just keep doing what your doing. Great vids love them all
craig, thanks so much! I'll keep them coming!

I prefer the vlog style videos. We made a new rule for my boat this year - you have to alternate riding regular and switch. It's been helpful.

Loving these type of vids, like the bit of vlog but tutorial tips

Super informative I really like when you help us beginners with pointers keeps us motivated

Yes, do more!
Really like the vlog style on the videos man! Gonna try more switch riding! Had a good time ride tonight but having a hard time clearing wake-wake, always end up like 1m from clearing. Guess i have to shorten my rope and work on the progressiv edge even more.

Respect for taking the drone out of the sky when you heard the helicopter, as a pilot you showed great respect ✊🏼
hahah always!! I nearly shit myself when i heard the chopper coming haha
Damn man I just was going to ask you for tips on riding switch. You can predict the future lol. Also just bought a Valhalla! Keep up the great videos.
hahah glad i could be at your services. Ohh and that's awesome, appreciate that support, and i hope you enjoy it!!!
Vlog style. I enjoy
great vlogs man keep em' comin! Learning a lot
Cheers Sam, I will!
What I did was buy a cheaper long board skateboard, so I can spread my feet apart to simulate a wakeboard, it helped me a lot.
Good video thanks for helping me with my wakeboarding
BUB U G fire really? That's so awesome to hear! Keep up the progress!
Thx David that's very good tips!
no worries, its mad how much it will help!!
david david david... plz.. give yourself a bump on the sholder. cuz this was flipping amazing!! i love it. love the style. keep up the good work buddy
ahahah bump on shoulder! lol, thank you!!
David O'Caoimh i didnt know how to pronounce it. But is is something like that xD
That was an awesome vid mate, great job!!! 😊
Loved the video, i have been learning switch behind the boat by making myself get up switch and riding and edging then when i feel ready to ride normally i just do a quick 180. I feel it is helping me learn quicker. But loved the video and the lake looked amazing💯
And i love vlogs and when you go straight to the point, you are just always pushing out great content, do what you feel is better or just mix it up every other video.
Cody Mason that's amazing Cody!! That's the right way to do it too so keep it up!!
Oh and thanks, yeah I think a mix is the best way to do it for sure! Thanks Cody!
David O'Caoimh no problem👌🏼 always willing to help
Hey man yeah the vlog styles are really good! You should do a video where you wakeboard in the ocean behind a jet ski and jump the waves
hahah yeeeee that would be rad!! Thanssss
I like the vlog style, it's more personal :)
awesome!! thanks Eva!
As a pro rider, does riding switch still feel less comfortable to you than your natural stance or are you just as comfortable in either stance?
I'm not a pro, but it still feels like brushing my teeth with my left-hand riding switch.
Haha the song reminded me of funk bros intro
When you land a new trick for the first time, what steps do you take after? I like to make sure I can do it 3 times in a row regular first. Do you immediately try it switch or toeside?
Andrew J yeah, I 100% agree. Get it 3 times in a row to solidify it. Then it's up to you, but like ideally learn it soonish afterwards if your switch is strong!
I loved it!
Such a helpful video love your channel!
Love your content man you deserve way more subs 🤘🙏
you make wakebourding look too easy 😂 \
yesterday was my first time wakebourding and i spent a solid 15-25 minutes not geting past the first kicker
same acualy
haha ohh no. You'll get it next time. The more you do it, the easier it gets. Just try relaxing a bit more i'm guessing
10 months later, how you doing?
Vlog all day
yeeee
Love the videos man, they have 100% helped my wife and I become better riders. What rope length do you ride at?
Adam, that's brilliant!! Great to hear, and keep it up. This is 72ft rope
great vid! keep killing it.
thanks Lad!! Will try!
great tip nice song!
Landed my first kicker today, super pumped! So I've only tried switch a couple time, would you recommend trying it behind a boat, or on cable, or does it matter?
yew. Congrats!!! Hmmm, i'd say either or, shouldn't make too much of a difference!!
Your video editing has gone to a new level in this one 👍🏻 I think you are onto something I would start to have faith in your talent outside of wakeboarding (vlogging) and I think you could throw a few videos in that dont focus on wakeboarding - it probably feels like a ballsy move but I reckon worth an experiment! Nice work though it takes masses of effort I dont envy vloggers!
haha thanks so much!! i know, i always wonder about doing just non wake vids, but cool to experiment into it!! Appreciate the kind words!!
I'd like to speak with you Re: ideas for merchandising and growing your brand (if you are interested). After the world games I would assume. Its something I do for a living btw.
Hey man, love all your videos bro! Me and my girlfriend cable wakeboard and was wondering wether you could do a video on ollieing higher. Would much appreciate it man and keep up the great work!
thanks Daniel, and yeah i'll try to include it. But basically just try and get a bit more weight on the back foot before taking off. And also do it flat on the board, not on edge
Your driveway looks like mine haha. F56 cooper s and F83 M4 👌🏽👌🏽 love your videos!
Personally I prefer "to the point", but the vlog stuff is easy enough to skip through for those that don't care for it.
Something you might talk about sometime - boat speed. What's best? go for what makes the best wake on the boat setup you have, or is there more to it? I generally ride around 21mph but I'm going to try a few different speeds this afternoon. :-)
haha yeah, just skip to the wake bits if preferred!! :)
Yeah around 21 is a good speed, usually i ride between 21 and 23 ish
Did you get that song from the Funk bros
lol, i've no idea!!
Ok just wondering thanks for responding
Can you make a video of how you set up your boots on the wakeboard?
Come to Australia Brother. Many great wake parks here mate. and boat spots.
i know! January!
Can't Wait If you're down south east Queensland way ill be there.
I like the to the point videos better! But great Vlog anyways!!
great to know! Thanks Ryan!
Hi David, I like this style of vlog video's! I was wondering, do you have you own wakeboard boat in Ireland? If you do what kind of boat is it?
Hey Bram, thanks so much!! My family have an old 210, but it's out of action at the moment. Hopefully get it back on the water soon!!
Cool! Maybe something to vlog about, the boat getting back on the water and boarding with it ;)
I like straight to the point but vlog is cool too. can you do a tricks 101 for someone starting out doing tricks for the first time? like what's the first trick you should start with etc thanks, I enjoy your videos
Great video. I'm struggling a ton on toe side, both regular and switch. Any tips on toe side jumps?
Usually like the vlog but occasionally just want to watch tricks. That's what the timeline slider is for.
hahaha! Exactly!
do more vlogs their amazing
David have you ever wake surfed or thought about making a video wake surfing?
i'm fairly brutal at it myself, but i'll try!! haha it's good fun actually so would be cool to do a video
Most definitely stick with the vlog style. There are a ton of wakeboarding videos. Your videos are more interesting because of your commentary and letting us in to a bit of your life. Ride Safe!
Jim, thanks a million!!! I'll try do more so!
Can i be your next door neighbour please? it is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!! everytime i watch your vid filmed around your home i get so jealous!!
i like your channel because it has different styles and contents. i personnally like your tutorials like 'mastering the basics of wakebaording' because it is VERY informative, straightforward and super clearly expalined! there is no other wakeboarding tutorials like that out there. it really helps when i go out and try it myself.
i also love your vid like 'old school wakebaording is back' ( my fav wakeboarding vid in the world!) and the other ones with you try different things for fun or you traveling around the world.
i quite like the way you group the vids at the moment. you have different styles for each group and they serve the purpose perfectly well i think. it gives your channel diversity as well.
i think people like your channel because you have your own colours.20K subscribers mean that you are doing something right :) whatever you want to do, please keep sharing with us! :D
Hey Bella, thanks so much. haha yeah it's a super nice country to be in!!
Also, massive thanks for taking the time to give me all that feedback, i'll 100% keep everything in mind when making videos!!
where and what wetsuit do you use I like the blue and orange one that you have but I was not able to find it anywhere in the us
Yoooo it's an O'Neill one. They sent it to me (i'm not sponsored they just hooked me up). I can't find it on the site, maybe it's a prototype or something from their next season. Not sure
Has a very Casey Neistat vblog feel with the music and shot cuts. Works well!
haha i'll take that as a big compliment!! thanks!
Dude, I am just dying to know who the new sponsor is, I keep snagging every video post waiting on it lol!!
hahahah sooooon! It's worth the wait
Hey man, that's a Mastercraft X2 you're riding behind correct? If so, what is the speed you ride at and what is the ballast setup?
man thats the problem, it never felt awkward or strange to wakeboard normal stance for me, it kinda just worked (guess from some snow- and skateboard experience, which i both also suck at going switch) xD
Izelude ohhh. Well I guess if you think back to when you first started, you've definitely got more comfortable on the board; so same with switch. Just start and you'll be flying in no time
I prefer vloggish style it's awesome
Love the vids! Thanks for making them time in time again! Quick question please, do you think or how much do you think not having your own board while trying to get better at wakeboarding and using boards at cable parks given to u (open toe; closed toe, 138 then a 140, next time a 141) slows down your progression? Big thanks again and keep shredding! :D
Hey RJ, thanks a million. So yeah, it definitely doesnt help, but it's not the end of the world. I think if you're at a beginner to intermediate level, you may not notice the board differences as much (except maybe open and closed toe). So what i'd say is, if you come into some spare cash, then 100% try get your own setup, but if you just can't afford it, no massive stress, you'll still progress!
It always blows my mind how you find the time to answer to all of us! That's what makes you a great youtuber, inspiration and genuine cool lad! Thanks for the feedback!
RJ haha. I always try my best 😊😊✌🏻. Thanks!
good vid
can you make a vid on how to start to ride switch, i don't know whether to get up switch or try and do it once im already up, i ride goofy fine but when i try to go normal my board seems to want to go to the left, tips please
Fenn, yeah, i've done a video called 'Mastering the basics' and it has loads of little tips in it for things like that!
Hi David! Could you please give me any tips for landing a 720 on cable? My problem when doing a 5 is I can't keep the handle close to my body. I start the spin with the handle close but land with my arm stretched out and the line is pulling a lot.
thanks
i like when u get to the point.
Love the vids :)
Ed behm great to know! Thanks so much Ed!
Same here. I like it better when it's straight to the point. Doesn't matter if it makes shorter videos, it's just less editing for you ;)
Hey , quick question about going toe side if you see this. When I try stuff toe side I feel like I'm not angled towards the wake enough to clear the wake any tips?
hey, yeah this is common, there can actually be a few reason why this is happening to you. Most likely, you're shoulders are open to the boat. Try get them parallel to the board on your approach
David O'Caoimh yeah that sounds like the problem I'll try it out today. Thanks for the help.
I've learned how to, but I'm trying to get where I can clear the wake, anything else is fairly easy.🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻keep it funky😛😜
haha unreal!!!! Keep it up
Nice👌🏼👍🏼
one quick question, do you suggest fins or no fins?
Sorry for the spam but do you have any suggestions for cable park intermediate boards
not spam haha, yeah, intermediate i'd maybe look at something like the O'Brien indy, i think it's an awesome board on the cable for all levels really. The SOB that i ride would be great at all levels too
David O'Caoimh thank you see ya on your next video ❤️
Can you make a video on how to clear the wake I keeep coming up short
Where did you get your boat lift.
Mate have you see Spiders in Australia
