1. Load the line : To load the line, you need to build progressive edge.
2. Since your a first timer, start out as far as possible out side of the wake.
3. do not turn back into the wake but make a progressive edge back into the wake building up edge as you reach the wake.

5. Back straight, Head up, knees slightly bent...
6. Enjoy the ride!!
7. Don't be afraid, You WILL take several falls, and they will hurt! Keep it up, and before you know it you'll be throwing raley's
