  Beginner Wakeboard Trick Descriptions - Part I

Stand on board (5 seconds)


Description: Stand on the board for 5 seconds


Category: Beginner
Point Value: 20


Tip on performing this trick: This is a great trick for beginners who are just starting out and learning to balance themselves on the board. Helpful hints would be to keep your arms straight (or slightly bent) but NOT all the way in to your chest. Spread your hands out to use the whole handle with both palms down. Keep you knees bent like shock absorbers to ride out any waves. Focus on twisting your hips so that your upper body is facing the boat and your lower body is keeping the board pointed in the direction of the pull.


Ride w/ one hand on handle (5 seconds)
Description:

Category: Beginner
Point Value: 40


Tip on performing this trick: Now that you're getting more confident, take a hand off the handle and wave to the boat or to those watching from the shore. Doesn't matter which hand but make sure you are at least smiling!!


Cross one wake

Point Value: 50


Tip on performing this trick: After you've gotten used to your board we're sure you will want to cross the wakes. Remember that a key element when learning is how you position your hips. Focus on twisting your hips so that your upper body is facing the boat and your lower body is keeping the board pointed in the direction of the pull. In order to turn the board to head in either direction, it's just a matter of moving your hips in the direction you want to cross the wake- turn the hips to the left and your body positions the board to turn left. Same thing when you turn your hips to the right.


Cross both wakes

Tip on performing this trick: Crossing one wake or two, it's all the same- use your hips! In order to turn the board to cross in either direction, move your hips in the direction you want to go. Rotate the hips to the left and your body positions the board to turn left. Same thing when you rotate the hips to the right.
