Awesome man! If that is indeed a picture of the wife on her 5th attempt tell her that she needs to STAY in the crouched position longer. The handle is far in front of her and high. It looks like the boat is going to pull her over the front edge of the board and the back toe-side edge is about to be swallowed under the water. Once she waits a little longer to stand up she'll be up every time!

It may also get her to stop locking that front knee out... no worries though, everyone does it starting off!

That's sweet! Hanging with the family on the water. My daughter is almost 2, and she swam with me in the lake for the first time this weekend. She was having a blast! She usually sits on the boat, but she wanted to come in the water this time. Proud parent moment.

watching a newbie learn how to edge on thier toes is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. you know their about to do a surface raley, you just don't know when. cool to see your entire family ridin, makes the sport that much better when everyone on the boat is having a good time.
