I'm sure there is a thread out here on this but I can't find it. I need advice on teaching my kids how to wakeboard. A friend said to let them lay flat on their back and let the board float and it will pull them right up. Needless to say it didn't work and that was my 4 year old. I was thinking for that one to have him start real shallow where my brother can actually be holding him on top of the water when the boat starts to pull him. This won't help him learn to get up but if he can start on the water and learn to enjoy it he won't get frustrated so fast. For his older brothers I am deepwater starting but I think I will have them turn the nose up some, that seems to work best for me. Those two haven't tried yet. Let me know what you all did. (Won't have time to put the boat in this weekend so I am going to use the waverunner, maybe it won't be as intimidating)
