That is basically what i went through and where I am now.
I progressed pretty fast. I wakeboarded behind a jet ski, got up 2nd try, and was outside the wake within the 1st 5 seconds. I was jumping the "wake" in about 5 minutes and doing little grabs. Here is a video of me, its about my 5th time behind a boat.
I think a first good 'trick' to learn is the surface 180. Its the first thing I learned after going in and out of the wakes, and it gets you comfortable riding switch right away.
