hey i was just wondering if anyone had trouble their first time out on their new bi, i mean as in getting up. i went today for the first time with mine and i had so much trouble for some reason. normally i jsut get up so easy but now its embarrasing bc its hard. i was just wondering if this happened to anyone else or if i just suck balls, lol. oh by the way its behind my jet ski so yeah htat makes it harder but i would always get up no trouble with other boards......peace

I don't know. Maybe it's just cause it was your first time in a while? I never had any trouble getting up on mine.

no, its not my first time in a while, i went out 3 times last week and the week before so i dunno, i guess it was just an off day

never had troubles either...

maybe it's cause you try getting up with the board pointing to the boat and not sideways, the water could catch between the 2 decks and make it harder...

The bi-level definatley feels differnet even when getting pulled up. On some skates you can flatten off pretty quickly just because the board is flatter, but with the bi-level you have that channel in the middle that pulls it weird.

I never had trouble getting up, but I can definitely feel the resistance of the water going between the decks. It is a little harder than a single level deck, but if you know how to get up, you shouldn't have any problems.

What happens when you fall getting up? Do you just plow until you let go or do you fall over?
