11 year old needs help!!!

[AirTool]

Is it me or is 11 too young for the Internet?

No - and any activity not appropriate for his age is probably not appropriate for any age IMO.

Hey guys, thanks for the help. Ryan is my son and he was amazed that I could go on here and ask questions and people would actually give you good advice. I told him that is what being a Nautique owner is all about so he asked if he could come on here and ask you guys about learning to wakeboard. Don't worry Gride, his activity is being monitored.

Mark, I think it's great that you give your son the opportunity to come online to ask questions about things he has passion for. It's obviously important to him to be able to clear the wake and this is a great place to ask for advice. I think once he works on the things the others have mentioned, he'll get to his first goal, being WTW.

Me too. Soon he'll be asking about getting the FCC can off, stiff steering cables, ethanol, and that pesky toggle switch.

BTW, I tried the "stiff leg" thing yesterday, just for grins. Added a couple of feet in height and distance. Cool!

Awesome advice on here. I am 20 and have been riding since 9. ( learned on dads directional hyperlitle, honey comb base w/ sandal bindings!) haha plenty of concusions, comps, and camps later to find out this information is availible to new upcoming of our sport by the click of a button! My piece of advice along with what everyone else has said, don't force your take off. You shouldn't try and jump off the wake as if a trampoline, follow the body position instructions posted above, the wake has energy, let it pop your body up instead of absorbing it, as far as landing. Spot your landing hit it and always edge away. This will help you regain balance and control. And the last thing- keep your head up! We all wreck it just take practice to build that muscle memory. Good luck with your foot! Hope you don't loose too much wake time
