| What's your technique? Sitting with the board up? Deep water? Like Nick Taylor does in the vid with him and canalskater? I tend to just sit with the board up...the cove I normally ride in has a lot of underwater fences and duck blinds for the winter when TVA drains the water that creep me out. |

| deep water it is much easier you just sit and wait with the board underneath you. no fooling with the board once the rope get's to you. |

I stand ontop of the board and when the boat starts to go I angle the board up so it planes ontop of the water. It makes it much easier to get up, expecially considering the small surface area of a wakeskate.
IMO it's the only way to do it. _________________ The aforementioned postings and musings are the opinions of myself in their entirety and are not the opinions of wakeskating.com |

have any of you tried to get up with your back to the boat? You hold the handle behind your back at ankle level and hold on. its pretty fun. _________________ integrity-wake.com | chriscut.com |
