Your abilities in snowboarding will certainly help once you are up. Since you must edge to snowboard, this will help you to learn to edge you wakeboard. All trick begin with a good progressive edge. Star you edge towards the wake slowly and progressively edge harder as you approach the wake. Edge through the wake, this is what will launch you into the air. It is very fun. If you have the opportunity, you should get some lessons from someone who know how to teach someone to get up. Keep the handle at your hips and not out in front of you, this will pull from you center of gravity, if you hold the handle out in front and shoulder high, the boat tends to pull you forward. Check out 'The Book' DVD series, lots of good info, plus you get so see the the techniques from several angles. Good luck and enjoy...

i dont know if snowboarding will help or not because i don't snowboard, but i do wake board. wake boarding is reaaallly fun. the hardest part is learning how to stand up on the board. but that only takes like an hour to learn. it takes a lot of practice, but its still fun when your learning. good luck! and have fun.

its fun, but really hurts in the arms after. Its also pretty easy once u can get up (heck I ski and I can do this). Just remember to stay low when the boat starts up.
