Anyone here wakeboard? If so, whats your set up and how long have you been doing it?

 

Been trying a couple times. Can't stay up yet though. Always face plant myself haha. Still tons of fun trying.

 

I only have a 18 foot searay average runabout with a crummy wakeboard. I can ride reverse and jump and switch and so forth, nothing fancy. A buddy just bought a Mastercraft with a high rack, fat sacks and wake control.

This will be my first opportunity to get really high off the water, but I am pushing forty so I will probably hurt myself. This guy is good and can do about 3 different flips and assorted tricks.

 

ive been out with wakeboarders quite a few times but generally i was slaloming. the couple times i rode it was fun until i fell... you damn near always faceplant seems like, hurts like hell. when i'm cutting on my ski and i fall i just roll a few times and then go under, much easier...

i can do 180s and side slides and that sort of basic stuff though even tho i've only been on it a few times. i bet i could do a 360 with a lil practice. jumping is a different story

 

Jumping frontside is easy, backside is a little harder.

 

I only get out one week a summer, but I live on the board the whole time.

I ride goofy which most people find odd. I found it 10 times easier then water skiing.

Other then that, I'm not a wakeboarder, I just do it, so what board, what boat, what line length, I have no idea, and don't really care

 

I wakeboard religiously with a bunch of my car buddies here... my buddy has a 25' Sea Ray with a full wake tower, and a fat sack filled up in the hull. He rides a CWB board, I ride his old Liquid Force. I absolutely love it... wakeboard all summer, and snowboard all winter.
