You know, it all depends. If you did that well skiiing I think you’d pick up wakeboarding pretty quickly too. Unlike skiing you start with the board parallel to the back of the boat, and once it pulls you up you let the board turn. I got up on my 1st try once I figured that part out. I’ve had friends get up on their first try, and I’ve had other less coordinated friends never go more than about 10 feet.
