Default Seriously in need of tips

Can anyone give me a few tips on getting up on the wakeboard please?

I've been out 3 times now and as yet I have yet to get up.
My boat is a 70HP 15 1/2' Fletcher with a fairly high ski pole.

I'm getting desperate!!!!

Alright im a beginner and i get up every time my foot stance is the same as yours to. So what you want to do is stay sideways in the water then let the boat driver puch it and wait in the sideways position for a little bit until you feel it is the right time i usually wait like 5 seconds or so. Then what you do is you stand up slowly and when you are up put your weight on your back foot so the back fin digs in and you can turn. And if you want to turn to the right you lean on your toes and to turn to the left you lean on tour heels. Hope that helps you thats as good as I could say it without being there.
