How to Get Up on a Wakesurf Board

Cobe Mikacich (O'Brien Team member, wakeboard legend, and professional coach) teaches you the easy way to get up on a wakesurf board. From there, he shows you how to go outside the wake, find the proper body position while remaining in control and comfortable, and finally how to catch the wave so you can start surfing like a pro.

Without any details, it is difficult to know what you might be doing incorrectly. However, I find that most often when someone can't get up on the board, they are leaning back too much and plowing the board through the water. Keep your arms straight and let the pull of the boat rock you forward up on top of the board while keeping a deep crouch.
