Once you get the feeling for how to get up on your wakeboard, there are several questions you might have about pulling a wakeboard or wakesurf rider. Items like towing speed, rope length, and weighting your boat are always brought up in regards to safe wakeboard boating!When it comes to proper wakeboard boat speed, slower might be safer but inhibits you from learning and attempting new tricks. For beginning wakeboard riders, try pulling them at speeds of 12-14 miles-per-hour to allow them to really get the feel for riding and to get comfortable with the wakeboard edges and the concept of turning. This will also allow them to avoid the most painful way to fall in catching the edge of their wakeboard.Once they get the feel of riding at slower speeds, bump the towing speed a little faster as they’re more and more comfortable until you reach speeds of 18-20 mph. Once the rider proves comfortable and is taking cuts at the wake and even trying to jump the wake, slowly approach speeds of 21-23 mph. Bottom line, the rider should feel as comfortable as possible when riding behind your inboard towboat. Advanced riders attempting new tricks will like speeds of 21-23 mph as it allows for a clean and firm wake behind the boat.Our team looks forward to seeing you out on the lake this boating season as you learn to wakeboard and wakesurf.
