How To Wake board

This is a short version of how to wake board. Everyone should learn to wake board because it really sucks when you take people boating and they want to wake board but they don't know how so then you spend all afternoon teaching them when really if you follow these simple steps you should get up on your first couple tries.

Step 1: First you need to put on your life jacket (safety first)
step 2: Get the materials you will need, the rope (attach to the back of the boat), and a board that is the proper size.
step 3:  Jump into the water and put the board on.
step 4: Now act like you are sitting in the water with the board in front of you parallel to the back of the boat.
Step 5: Hold the rope so that it is in the middle of the board directly infront of you as well.
step 6: now tell the boat driver to take the slack out of the rope so that you get a slight pull, this will help keep you stable.
Step 7: Point your toes and keep your weight down.
step 8:  By now your feeling a pull from a boat, so tell the boat driver to "hit it" (that means go).
step 9: Don't fight the boat or the board, all you have to do is relax and remember step 7. You will know when to stand up when you feel a pull in your butt, kinda like getting pulled out of a chair. When this happens turn you feet so you are sideways now and plant your back foot and boom you will be up in a heart beat. (remember step nine and 8 are very fast)
step 10: you are up and going so now just stay balanced and enjoy the ride.
