I bought a board in my marina at the Mahopac marina in NY.. it was a Blindside Five o 137 i think or a 138. i dont remember..... but i got it out on the lake a week ago and I just couldnt get up.. i tryed left foot first.. i just couldnt get up.. i'd get to the point i was out the water and about to start standing up str8 but its VERY hard to stay on.. its all over the place.. like trying to balance on a basketball. i'd fall of after like 3 seconds. I feel like a total retard. io see everyone getting up so easy. im 170lbs and 6'3". I went out again today determined to get up.. I switched to my right foot to see if that helps.. I went out.. made my rope shorter, tilted the bindings so the front foot was kinda forward a little more like a noobie should do.. well this didnt help.. I still cant get up.. i dont know if its me or if its my dad driving the boat.. he has no idea what he's doing ... i told him to start slow till i start to get up then go a little faster till he hits 20 mph.. around there.. but i never get that far hahaahah.. can someone please help me .. i went online and read everything i could find on how to get up and watched like every youtube video on wakeboarding looking to see what they do.. I just dont get it .. this is like the only sport i cant do hahaha .. and that water is so bad i wanna start riding on it, not drinking it when i keep falling hahaha.
I dont have a wake tower, just the tow ring on the back of the boat. the boat has enough power to pull thats 4 sure. .. too much if anything..
im going to post a video of me trying to get up later on tonight to see if you guys can spot what im doing wrong. or what the driver's doing wrong.
kindest regards,
