As you gain confidence and start to feel comfortable on the board, it’s time to master the art of riding the wake. The wake is the small wave created by the boat as it moves through the water, and learning to ride it effectively is essential for maximizing your speed and performance on the water.

To find your sweet spot on the wake, start by riding in a straight line behind the boat, positioning yourself just outside the wake on either side. As you gain speed, gradually edge towards the wake, using the natural shape of the wave to propel yourself forward. Focus on keeping your knees bent and your weight centered over the board, using your arms to help steer and control your direction.
