- In our second how to video, The Adventure Gang will give you a simple but thorough explanation of how to get your child wake surfing in five minutes or less. It’s a full explanation leading you through equipment, how to get up and finally throwing by the rope back into the boat and surfing with ease.
Great video
Hi Adventure gang , if you were to push me backwards I would put my dominant foot back to brace myself ( MMA training comes into play with me ) . I would push my pupil foreword thus guaranteeing they put the correct foot forward , just my 2c keep up the good work and thanks for making these videos .
Thank you little Steven!
I want my kids to learn 😄
Super cool video!
You’re supposed to shorten the rope that’s what the knot is for if you pull up on the rope, it could tangle around your neck and pull you
I have a wakeboard School and I have gotten so many kids up and riding on their very first time. Actually for a child a little bit longer rope is so much easier. There is more turbulence and a bigger white water in closer. Let them be out just to touch longer, and once they feel comfortable and are up and riding they should be right in the sweet spot. Kids don’t weigh as much and don’t need as big a push, so make sure you teach them to ride as far back in the wave as they can. It makes them feel much more comfortable than being right behind the boat.
Saving this video for later.
Awesome!
You have the rope on the wrong place your supposed to put it on the tower
What kind of boat do you have
Axis A22
How to wakeboard my child, huh? Good deal.
You didn’t have the tab down when he first got up? Or did you start in a non surf mode ? Please explain
The surf gate typically doesn't deploy until you reach a speed of around 9 m.p.h. I am not sure what type of boat he is using, but on my Axis, the Power Wedge will deploy almost immediately and then the Surf Gate will open and form the wave.
Same on my boat. It is a axis a 22.
Hi
One needs to be extremely careful of wake surfing or any activity too close behind a boat. Carbon monoxide poisoning is possible and is very difficult to treat even with pure oxygen.
I just want to echo your concerns. My three year old was swimming near the back of the boat on a calm day. Inboard motor with a wood platform on the back of the boat. We didn’t know what was happening at the time but He inhaled CO2 from the back of the boat and fell unconscious. Thankfully my brother thought to call 911 and have them meet us at the beach so when we got the boat moving fresh clean air was able to gradually get back into his system. But He nearly died. At the time we had absolutely no idea what was happening to Him and it’s rarely ever talked about or cautioned. My family always owned a boat while I was growing up. Tons of experience around boats, but never knew how dangerous this could be.
@@troylink2887 yeah CO is no joke, I’m always very careful behind the boat after hearing stories of whole families passing away at night cause of a broken heater or something. Chills.
Hi there! Most all wakesurf boats now have what’s called “fresh air exhaust”, which is a pipe that directs the exhaust into the propeller wash, where it is dispersed about 30 feet behind the boat (and much less concentrated). You’re spot on that boats that do not have FAE can be dangerous, and people should be aware of that, but any newer wakesurf boat is typically fitted with FAE standard nowadays. :)
Bs. He didn't learn that in 5 min. I teach people all the time. No one gets up that easy and drops the rope. Bs.
Yes, Stephen is my son and he has of course wakesurfed before. I have a wakeboard school and I have gotten so many kids up and riding the first time. Just follow the fundamentals and it can work for you too.
