1. The first step to take up a ride on the surface of water or wakeboarding is to watch the sport on television, video or at the event for example Pro Wakeboard Tour.
2. Learn the minor techniques involved in this sport by going along with your friends who wakeboard. Learn from your friend ride and let someone explain the basics to you while you watch. Try a session yourself. Don’t worry about getting wet. Learn from mistakes.
3. Once you are in the water and ready to give wakeboarding a try, single to the boat driver. As the boat begins driving, point the nose of your board up and drag your knees to your chest. The resistance the wakeboard against the water will pull you but don’t get up too fast. Continue on a straight line for a solid amount of time until you feel comfortable riding the wakeboard. Practice a few small turns to see how the board moves and feels when changing directions in the water
4. As you ride, try doing a few turning tricks so that you get an idea how your edges grip the water. You can also try to ride outside the wash of the wake or over the edge , gradually increasing you pace every time you repeat it.
5. now it is time to jump the wake. Take about a 10 ft cut outside the wake, and slowly get on the edge of your wakeboard taking you back into the wake.Make sure you get weight against the back edge of your wakeboard, lift your body in the air off the wake, and try to get use to taking small turns and flips in the air.
6. Simply assume a position with bent knees like in skiing and turn your body a little bit in order to get a feeling for the motion. Then you should attempt to hold the board in order to extend your airtime.
7. Then simply do the combination of the tricks mentioned above: Bunny jump as you hit the wake, then spin, pick off and land while riding backwards or flipping in the air.
