That is awesome! Man, I can't wait. That video made me realize that I get to buy my little girl a wakeboard next year. Whoo Hoo!

TeamAllen,

I agree, Tige should jump all over that. Everyone please check out the new feature on Tige.com called Tige Cinema. This video needs to be uploaded to TigeYou. This is a new area on the web site where we can post your videos. There is already one video posted. Give me a call at 325-829-8676 if you have a video you want to post.

Thanks,

Team Allen - your little girl is so cute! Tony is right you need to get this up on TigeYou. Please post this video at www.tigecinema.com - It will make a great addition to the Garcia family multisurf video.

That is so cool, what a young starter. She is so cute and really seems to be digging it. I showed it to my 11 yo to give some push, he is quite a chicken when it comes to trying new things, if she keeps this up, she will be wicked good by the time she is 11. Thanks for sharing the video, she gets up so easy.

Using the YouTube tag on the top of this textbox, you put the YouTube link in there. Not the entire URL but the last part after the "=" sign.

To see it, you can Reply to the original YouTube post and see what I did.

Totally Amazing! Way to go Dad! That is what boating is all about.

Tigé Corporate should jump all over that.

Share with us more details about how you attached the rope to the board.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. A few have asked how the rope was set up. It is about 15'-20' long with a handle at both ends. In the same style as trainer skiis, another rope "T's" off close to the riders handle, is loosely looped between the bindings and runs under the board. This allows the rope to slide wichever direction the rider wants to go. Looping the rope under the board keeps it low around the boot instead of riding up their leg. The rope needs to be placed around the board/boot before the rider steps into the boot.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

I have been gone for a while and just came back and noticed the kind comments many of you have written. I tried looking at Tigecinema.com but nothing came up. I would love to put the video on Tigeyou. I'll give you a call.
Thanks

I have a 2 and 1/2 year old that I want to start this summer. Where did you find the wakeboard and bindings? Also, what size are they? Thanks!!

I'm thinking about trying that rope setup for my wife....my wife can listen and think about what to do when we are talking at home but refuses to listen to directions when we are out on the water. Therefore, no getting up. Also, any tips for her? We were able to get her to stand up but then her board is under water. Otherwise she hangs on and gets pulled over the board. I guess it doesn't matter cause she is pregnant now and it out for this summer.

I found it at Sport Chalet but I think you can get kids boards anywhere. Mine is a CWB 118. I debated between the 118 and a 109 from another brand. The 118 had larger bindings that fit my 7 year old son but can still be tightened to fit my 2 year old.

In my experience I found it easier to teach people on a larger board. The 118 also fits a 10 and 12 year old that often come with me, but they got up easier when I made them use my 135.
