Always great to see the top pros do beginner tutorials. Well taught, confident and competent beginners, are the future of any sport... After all is said and done, that's where we all started. Well done Dave! Keeping it real and keeping it Fun ;0)

Haha Dave I know how to wakeboard and I still enjoyed the vid and watched the whole thing 👍🏼👍🏼

He’s literally the Zach effron of wakeboarding 😭

Though I’ve been wakeboarding behind the boat for years, I went to my first cable park this past week. They had us sit start and first go I face planted. I blame that one on the left boot, which I realized was completely coming unstitched when I got back to the dock. Second go…faceplant. Third and all after…no problem. However, it seemed much harder than a boat start. Just as you said, the pull from the water is much harder. The cable is a sudden full speed pull…not like the boat which is gradually moving from zero to pull speed. I watched one of the kids do a sliding start and thought that has to be easier. I never did try it, but I will next time!

Awesome energy !!!

David, you are the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Respect.

Great tutorial! Instructor did an amazing job! Thanks!

I enjoyed it!

Excellent David 👌😁 Thank you for this tips 👏

This really helps thanks man

Always good to see a beginners tutorials they will help

Wahoo, JTP said to come here and see what you do on a wakeboard! Go see Jon!

Very helpful learning from every vid you do

Spot on!

Seriously helpful dude 👌

Finally did it went to a cable Park yesterday had a freaking blast ! You are right everyone was really supportive and I hit nearly every obstacle. Even got a 180 off the big ramp. Probably would not have done it without your support

Awesome!

Great Tutorial, Any chance of tutorial on taking the corners of a cable park for us noobs?

Thank you , I already know how to start. But for jump start I have better understanding how it should be done.

Foot that you kick with goes in the back binding for like everyone haha

Can you make a video on wakeboards for buying

I'm going wake boarding tomorrow. I'm very excited!

Very cool

Nice video thank u sir

Love it, gona share the s.... out of it. Want to get more lads into wake boarding, myself only licked blood 2 years ago and was on the board a handful of times. So build up tutorial videos would be awesome. Thanks David

how did you record your audio so clearly without carrying a microphone?

Hi David. I had my first two wb sessions at a cable park in Cheshire last week and while I was getting up I couldn't get to grips with using heel and toe for directional control. I have a hernia and have 10kg more weight on my left foot than my right. Is there any way I can compensate for this when riding .Perhaps by positioning the board differently. I used to water-ski quite proficiently and felt that the cable wasn't pulling me up fast enough as the board was dragging through the water. Any tips you can give me before my next lesson?

How long does it usually take for complete beginners to be able to get on the water and get going? I went for the first time today & didn’t really see any progress throughout the day, despite good help from the instructors. It looks like a lot of fun once you’re able to do it but it was such a bummer that I fell from the start every time.

I always like watching your tutorials, maybe can you do a tutorial on how to get big air from the ground like your doing a flat raley but focus on the jump part because I’m having trouble with that

Hi David big fan, you have got me into wake boarding and I have a question about bindings. I think I’m going to buy 2019 O'Brien GTX Wakeboard Bindings. And since they are O’Brien I thought to go straight to your comment section! Would you generally recommend these?

Your sooo helpful I have a class for this

Do a video with Jon the potter wakeboarding that would be so cool!!

you are so coooool! ;)

Thank you very much for this Dave! This is very useful but there are not many tutorials covering the basic stuff so this is fantastic! I have never wakeboard in the UK and looking into try it when I go back. Is there any chance you can tell us a few places in the UK that would be good for a beginner? Cheers!

I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. Great videos. The doubles ride with Shaun Murray has been my favorite so far. However, I got up on my wakeboard for the first few times last week and I have a few very basic questions. How do I break the board free to initiate a surface 180 or power slide with fins? Should I use fins at all in the beginners bracket?

Hey David nice video. Is that new wake board park in Ireland your favorite wake board park or is Ballyhass still your favorite wake board park?

You And bord so good ❤️

5:38 my favourite way :))

Hi David I’m looking into buying my first wakeboard, it will be a cable board as that’s what I ride, do you have any recommendations. Class video

Nice video! Where i can get your lads and lassies shirts?

Mind to share ur equipment and outfit? Do u have a video talking abt boards, biddings and life jackets? I am looking to buy everything. I am in the US. Suggestions?

The cable Park in my Home town only allows sititing Starts. I have so many problems with it. I hope i will get it in the next Session

I’m a lake girl all day but I’ve never tried skiing or wakeboarding but I have a 3 yr old and I want her to get into some water sports rather than softball or something that keeps us away from the lake. Soooo…at almost 40 I’m gonna give this shit a try. Lawd…I’m saying my prayers as I type this. 🤣 Maybe I should get some liquid courage first. Lol

First. Norway!!!!🌊🌊

I wakesurf Behind our boat Is it like that but way faster ?

He has a seven years old's enthusiasm and energy :D but solid tips at the same time

At my cable park they teach you to do a sit start because they think it’s the easiest haha so when I’m going there in the summer I’m going to ask if they could let me do a stand slide start

what if its behind a boat? is it the same? I assume the start would be different

Where are you at in the contree and what comtree

hey can you do one for the Nollie start

that last start was nasty!

Just turn your late jump start into a funky railey 🙃

U should try wakeboarding behind a seadoo wake pro

I can do all three starts

I am a kiteboarer is the board control thes same

Yes

How to get up from a boat maybe?

👍🏻👍🏻

i got a qustion after i get off and it pulls me i feel like am wobling left and right

Love you but could u make a video explaining how to build up the balls to do a tantrum

Try start in the water behind the boat

This is for begginers ??

What about #4?

Why my first start was the sitting one? The trainers said it was easiest

I dont understand why they give us the hardest lauching method, cause i have been trying mins but no luck, asked to be standing and did it straight away.

For me, the jump is the hardest

I get up the deep water way because i wakebourd on a river

I have a video about it

Nòoooooooooooo

gj

Only God knows why they teach you only to do a sit start at most cable parks

30 tries today i didnt make it 😭

show off ....
