the first rail i hit was the pictic table at odub. It wasnt hard at all. just bend your knees going up the transition and stay over your board. Also, you can wakeskate in either lake.

bend your knees Very Happy

and try front lips first... If you don't need to ollie onto the rail you can hit it with your board already sideways in the water

beasoldierprstn, i think the site might not have been updated since wakeskating became popular. odub was the first place i tried wakeskating, u can go into the proshop and rent one. since it wasnt mine i couldnt hit the rails so i stayed in the kiddie pool but i cant see y u cant go in there
