Is this a good instructional, is it as funny as the first one?

if it has Murray in it period its funny! Im sure you can expect some of the same personality from the first one

I never saw the first one...but I have 2012 and enjoy it more than 'The Book' in terms of rewatchability. There are a couple of things in 2012 that were very useful for me in terms of sticking a new trick, so I'm glad I bought it simply for that.

It's not as comprehensive as The Book but much funner to watch and in many ways easier to learn from. It's worth owning both.

A little less funny but much more instruction. The "Getting up" section in the beginner section is especially impressive.

My dad who is 70 and has never wakeboarded watched the "Getting Up" section of the video and then got up on his 4th attempt.
