Standing up while wakesurfing can be challenging at first, but with the right technique, you'll be on your feet and riding the wave in no time! Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Start in the Right Position:
   • Lie back in the water: Sit with your back slightly reclined, holding the handle of the rope with both hands
   • Place your heels on the board: Position your feet shoulder-width apart near the center of the wakesurf board, with your toes pointing slightly upward
   • Knees bent: Keep your knees bent and close to your chest, ready to push yourself up
2. Wait for the Pull:
   • Hold onto the rope securely: Keep your arms straight and relaxed as the boat starts to pull you.
   • Let the boat do the work: Don’t fight the pull. The boat’s momentum will naturally help you rise..
3. Begin to Stand:
   • Roll forward onto the board: As the boat pulls, allow your body to roll forward so your feet are flat on the board.
   • Push off with your legs: Use your legs to stand up slowly, keeping your weight centered over the board.
4. Find Your Balance:
   • Shift your weight slightly forward: Ensure your weight is distributed evenly, with a slight bias toward your front foot.
   • Release one hand from the rope: Once stable, use one hand to balance yourself while holding the rope with the other.
   • Keep your eyes on the horizon: Don’t look down at your feet; focus on the wave and the boat.
5. Ride the Wave:
   • Adjust your stance: Once comfortable, shift your weight slightly back to maintain speed and avoid diving the nose of the board into the water
   • Let go of the rope (eventually): Once you're stable and in the wave's pocket, you can toss the rope back into the boat and ride the wave freely.

Stay relaxed: Tension in your arms or legs can throw off your balance!
