Rave Sports Aqua Buddy Manual Del Operador página 9

To wakeboard:
1. Once seated on the Aqua Buddy with wakeboard on, turn
body sideways as much as possible so the wakeboard is
facing forward.
2. Slowly remove any slack in the rope and be sure that the
boat, rope and rider are in a straight line and all facing the
same direction.
3. Make sure the rider's knees are slightly bent and the rider is
relaxed.
4. Once the rider signals to the boat driver he/she is ready, the
boat driver should begin pulling slowly for a few feet to get
the Aqua Buddy and the wakeboarder moving and then
accelerate quickly. The wakeboarder should stand up rather
quickly after the boat accelerates.
Note: The wakeboarder will feel the pressure under his/her
board once the boat is underway. Stand up as soon as the
boat is traveling fast enough to support the weight of the
wakeboarder on their board (usually within a few feet of
pulling).
Once standing, the wakeboard will plane out very quickly
and he/she will be wakeboarding!
TIPS:
•
Beginners should start with the wakeboard pointing forward as
much as possible. More experienced or stronger people may find
it easier to start with the board 90 degrees to the direction of
travel and turn quickly as he/she stands.
Adjust take off speed and timing of when the skier
stands if the skier fails to stand up and ski on the first
attempt.
