@wakecarro: WHAT I WISH I KNEW BEFORE I STARTED WAKEBOARDING: 1. Slowing the boat down and working on tricks one wake is a great way to avoid injuries and progress faster. I’ve learned everything from a grab to a Moby dick one wake before taking it wake to wake. Some tricks you don’t have to land one wake because it is actually harder than going wake to wake but slowing the boat down can give you the courage to try it and to wrap your head around it before you go full send. 2. I wish I would have spent the same amount of time training in the gym and taking care of my body off the water when I started as I do now. I probably could have avoided a lot of injuries and learned tricks faster if I would’ve put the work in from the start. The amount you train off water is up to you but I’d highly recommend adding strength training and “prehab” into your off water routine. 3. You don’t have to learn tricks that feel completely unnatural to you. Yes, it is good to push yourself out of your comfort zone and try new things but if you’ve given them a few weeks or months and it still doesn’t feel right, move on to something else, you can always come back to it. I wish I wouldn’t have wasted time learning tricks just because “everyone else were doing them” and focused more on my strengths. Not only will that transform you into a better rider but you will also have more fun doing things that feel right for you.
