Kneeboarding has gained popularity in its watersport counterparts. This is most likely due to the ability for riders of all ages being able to take part, as well as the easier learning curve that kneeboarding entails, since the rider is situated closer to the water.
 
In this watersport, which combines boogie boarding and skiing, the rider is situated on their knees on a kneeboard, which is contoured to fit the rider’s legs, and is towed behind an inboard boat by holding onto a tow-rope. Since this can be either an easy or difficult sport, all depending on your speeds, we have provided several kneeboarding tips.
 
Start with the “belly start”. By lying down on your stomach and holding onto the tow-rope handle with one hand and the kneeboard with the other, you can begin the process with a little more ease. Once the boat starts to speed up, then begin to pull your knees up, and tighten the strap with the hand that was holding the kneeboard. After that, you are all set to grab the tow-rope handle with both hands.
 
Slightly bend the elbows. In order to maintain control, it is best to ensure that when you hold the tow-rope handle, you aren’t letting it pull yours arms straight out. When you bend your arms, you are better able to control your kneeboard.
 
Know your balance. As you pick up speed, you will be more likely to bounce more. By edging forward on your board, you are maintaining balance and evenly distributing your weight on the board. Keep in mind, however, that you do not want to edge too much forward, as this will cause an overbalance, flipping you and your board over.
 
Go the right speed. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned kneeboarder, it is important to know what speed you can handle. Keep in mind, in order to experience the best ride, it is not necessary to go more than 10-18 miles per hour.
 
Use your board’s fins. Since kneeboards have fins that serve different purposes, it is best to test them out and see how they can help your kneeboarding experience.

1. It's easy to find someone to teach you

Just like when a skier or snowboarder buys the lift ticket and lesson pass to hit the mountain for the first time, there are plenty of people who are great at teaching wakeboarding around the world.  More likely than not, there is someone in your city who coaches the sport so you can learn without picking up any bad habits or bad experiences.

2. You can choose to use a boat

Even if you can't find anyone who owns a boat, you can check out a Cable Park to get started.  Cable Parks are set on small lakes and involve 2-5 towers posted around the lake with around six carrier systems pulling people in circles around the lake.  There are generally ramps and rails in the water that people use for tricks, just like in snowboarding and skateboarding.  Once you fall off, you take a short swim to the shore and line up for another turn.

3. It's a social sport

You get to know your friends well by spending countless hours in the boat with.  These friendships transfer to a large network of people who love boating.  Even better, wherever you are in the world, there is usually someone stoked to take you wakeboarding in their hometown.  It's one really big community.
