    Just wanted to brag a little. This is my 12 yr olds 4th time ever up on a wakeboard and he already clears the wake. Oh to be young again. And yes that is a dry suit water was only 55 degrees.

    Almost wanna call B.S. on this one, haha. If that is really his 4th time up on a board, you can go ahead and get him signed with a sponsor cuz he is going to be the greatest wakeboarder on the planet!! Simply amazing......

      I would like like to call B.S. as well, but I witnessed it myself. Just not fair. Nick Weinacher, during our pro clinic, which was well after that video, said that my son naturally had good form. The night after the clinic my son also tried surfing and on the third time up free rode for about 2 minutes. I wonder where he gets his athleticism from. He also plays a high level of Hockey.

            Get him signed up for some competitions! That's awesome! Faceplant's just jealous that he can't go wake-to-wake.

                  That's one of the best things in boating (IMO) seeing your family enjoying and your kids doing better than you!

                    Yes Ks we are actually going tonite, tomorrow morning and probably this weekend as well. That water temp. was in late may, and yes one of the best parts of buying a boat is watching yours and other kids kick your own butt on the water.

                      Awesome! Now give him some more rope and let him go nuts! He has great form in that video, I wish I could've started out like that!

                      I was jumping on my first time up on a wakeboard but didn't clear the wake until maybe my 10th time when someone finally told me that you should shorten the rope until you could clear it....I was trying to clear it at like 70' on my old I/O
