How to Control Direction on a Wakeboard

Hello! I’m Francisco Escudero here in Miami, Florida. If you want to learn more about wakeboarding, go to skybanditz.com. So now, we’ve already gotten the simulation on wakeboarding on land. The boat has already pulled us up. Once you’re up and you’re riding, you’re going to point the tip downwind, which is down where the boat is. You start to ride with the pull of the boat. To control your direction, you’re basically going to lean. If we want to go towards your right hand side, I’m going to lean this way towards the right. If I want to go towards the left, I’m going to have to put the weight on my toes and actually go more in this fashion right here. That’s going to allow me to go that direction. So, by just leaning this way and this way, I’m going to start doing S turns behind the boat. Behind the boat there’s usually going to be wake. As I cross that wake, which is going to be here, you can actually do little hops and practice your jumps.
