  • I hooked up a scale to see the actual difference it makes when you get up on your wakeboard from a deep water start in this low effort technique.
    Below is the original video I did on the Pro Start for the Detention Series

    The way you explain it makes it so easy to understand and showing this to new people to wakeboarding makes it so much more clear

    Yes! I think I saw one of y'all (real pros) do it on a DVD many years ago and have done it ever since... so much easier and way easier to teach!

    Awesome content and love your videos! Started boating/wakeboarding/surfing 3 years ago and my brother and I keep an eye out for your videos. Very helpful! Read some of the comments and like many others sometimes can’t get the board under water to do a pro start or when I drop from the swim deck can’t seem to keep balance underneath me sinking into the water. Video on that would be awesome 👌🤘

    @jonsquatch 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Thanks Shaun, what a great video, now I can have people just watch this and then answer any questions or make gentle corrections. The only reason I often go to the twisted, "ski", start is to help people who are going to try wake skating or surfing next so they can have a common frame of reference and I can break them of the plowing habit early. It takes a lot of skill to pro start the wake skate and a most people can't keep a surf board under them when they are starting out.

    • @Shaun.Murray

      Awesome to hear and thanks for the encouraging words. I'm super grateful I get to continue riding, coaching, and content creating for a living. One of my main goals is to share how to go about towed watersports in a fun, low risk, high reward way because it's a great way to not only get some fitness in, but it's one of the best ways to spend time with friends and family! Thanks again 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼

    • @Shaun.Murray
      @Shaun.Murray  ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Boat never gets above 10mph for this video and it's a very slow, progressive start. If people "need" you to slam the throttle, they're most likely not getting up this way and are plowing. They feel a massive amount of line tension and don't want to have to hang on to that much pressure for that long so they ask the driver to smash the throttle to get them out of the pain essentially.

    Can this be applied when trying to get up, wake surfing?

    • @Shaun.Murray
      @Shaun.Murray  4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      On skim style it's doable and even on a more buoyant surf style board, but the more float (displacement) it has, the harder it is to keep down under you.

    I have successfully done the pro start a handful of times but I find it is a lot of effort or even impossible to get the board under me after I’ve crashed. After jumping off the swim deck into the water, I can keep the board under me. Makes me wonder if my board is too big/buoyant for my body weight?

    • @Shaun.Murray
      @Shaun.Murray  4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Bigger boards can def play a role in making it more difficult but what are you approx stats? Board size vs height weight?

    • @KevinShank-p5e
      @KevinShank-p5e 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Ditto on dbrimi comment. Off the boat I can get the board under me. But when I get dumped the only way I can get the board under me is for the boat to give a slight tug. 5’6 200lbs 23 Murray 144.

  • @keithmayotte1512

    Why do pros put their boards on on the sun pad rather than the swim deck? Never makes sense to me. And pains me thinking about the upholstery.

    • @Shaun.Murray
      @Shaun.Murray  ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      I know right? What's their deal? I mean, our deal 🤣 . I don't really know why other than sometimes someone else is on the platform. That's usually why I do it and it doesn't do anything to the upholstery if it's fairly new. If I do it, I'm as careful as I can be.

    Yo Shaun. You already know I’m dumber than a box of rocks, but I struggle to get the board under the water when trying to do a pro start. Maybe it’s because I’m old and fat and way out of shape….. but…..
    Any chance you could do a vid on how to get the board under the water?

    • @pwarren31
      @pwarren31 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      So are you suggesting pro start for beginners, or emphasizing to get on top of the board (heels to butt) during starts? Think the former would be tough to teach to a beginner.

    I don't know if this comes across as a name dropper but, I was stationed in Hawaii for a few years while in the U.S. Navy and ended up working with a guy named Lance Brug who always taught new comers that the best thing to do is to put your butt on your heels with the board perpendicular to the boat (like you're showing for the pro start) and waiting until the board comes up on plane before standing up. I saw him get TONS of people up this way who had no clue how to wakeboard.
    In your video it didn't seem like you were ever squatting on the board, it seemed like your legs were always straight whether you showed the plowing, or the pro start. It might be hard for someone new to the sport to visually understand the difference.
    Please don't take this as someone who thinks they know more than you trying to tell you how to instruct. I've watched your videos for years, including the original detention on VHS which helped me to make my first heel side back roll and I love what you're doing on TH-cam. I'm just giving you my perspective based on what I see and what you're trying to explain.

    • @Styk33
      @Styk33 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That's the way I always taught people. I am a guy that has really bad balance and that was the method that worked for me, after a few months of trying. So I defaulted to that for all the beginners.

    • @digiprez77
      @digiprez77 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah this is more for people who like to dock start or whose boat or PWC might have a problem getting them up on deep water starts... Not for beginners. I always teach new people to keep their legs half extended and I drag them a bit first. Anyone with some cross-ability like surfing or skiing will instantly feel what they need to do and keep the board in front of them. It they get pulled forward over the board right away they need to drag a few more times. I don't want to pop somebody up sitting on their heels so they just stand up and faceplant or worse. I have seen bad things result. You should be able to do a regular deep water start before you are up on your feet in my opinion...

    Same premise as Barefoot Water Skiing no need to push water. It’s too hard. No need to do it if you can’t Barefoot with two fingers on the rope you’re doing it wrong!
