STEP 1

Setup

Wear a life vest and helmet, and check that the bindings fit well. Check the water conditions and agree on hand signals with the boat driver.

STEP 2

Start phase

Start in the water with your knees bent and the board in front of you. Let the boat's pull lift you up slowly and find your balance.

STEP 3

End phase

When you finish, let go of the handle and settle into the water calmly. Once back on the boat, check your workout duration.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Riding against the pull works your cardiovascular system, legs, and core. Your grip, shoulders, and back stay engaged as you hold the handle.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Keep the handle low near your hips instead of pulling with your arms. If you fall, let go of the handle and signal that you are okay.

STEP 6

Breathing

Relax your shoulders and breathe naturally while riding. After a fall, float in the water and let your breathing settle.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Record the time spent wakeboarding. Do not enter the number of runs, tricks, or distance.
