If you fall face first you sound like you should lean back more, remember to bend your knees :!:

WHATS UP I WILL GIVE YOU SOME TIPS TO GET UP I HOPE THEY WORK AND IF THEY DONT (ITS PROBALLY YOUR FAULT HA HA JUST KIDDING)

1ST : START WITH YOUR KNEES BENT KIND OF LIKE YOU SITTING IN A CHAIR UR BOARD SHOULD BE HORIZANTAL TO THE WATERWITH IT UP OUT OF THE WATER JUST A LITTLE (make sure to keep it above the water or else you will start to go under when the boat accelerates)AND WHEN THE BOAT IS STARTING TO ACCELERATE LET THE BOAT PULL YOU UP DONT TRY AND SIT UP OR PULL YOUR SELF UP

if you have anymore ?'s just reply to me alright hope i helped out

Dont try & stand on your toes otherwise you fall straight over the front edge and dont try to get up too fast. Maybe try to practice this on the dock first cos its easier without water. Also, if you ride in cold water the longer you keep trying the weaker the muscles get so everything gets harder.

Good luck

if yur fallin face first maybe need to turn your board parallel to the boat a lil quicker to keep your edge from catchin tha water
