Im just getting started, besides videos and what people have told me i'd like to progress as fast as possible. I was wondering if there are any good recommendations for getting better balance. Like balance boards... has anyone used balance boards? or can any1 recommend a good one? OR other techinques that may help...
Thanks.

drop your back hand whenever you feel unstable and use it for balance

ride as much as possible and ride with people that are better than yourself. one of the great aspects of wakeboarding is that it's an individual sport so most people are willing to help each other out with tips and ideas to help someone ride better. we were all beginners at one point or another so just stick with it and ask a lot of questions. your best source of info with be experience...ride as much as possible!
