Step 1
Match the manufacturer of your wakeboard with your bindings as you select wakeboarding equipment. You may be able to find special deals on wakeboarding packages if you purchase both products at the same time.
-
Step 2
Check out the wide variety of tow rope handles available at specialty stores before you begin wakeboarding. You should select a handle that is comfortable in your hand and constructed of durable composites.
-
Step 3
Fix the footbed and baseplate of your wakeboard bindings by keeping a repair kit with your wakeboarding supplies. These kits consist of replacement screws and small tools.
-
Step 4
Preserve the shine of your wakeboard with board wax and polish. You should select board care products that polish the board's surface while conditioning your wakeboard against damage.
-
Step 5
Buy wakeboarding gloves with rubber grips to keep your hold on the tow rope. You can find these gloves at water sports stores. Test several pairs to find the right fit.
-
Step 6
Ensure your safety on a wakeboard without sacrificing comfort with a good life vest. Select a life vest that provides multiple comfort settings on both sides to ensure that you will float in case of an emergency.
-
Step 7
Protect your feet against high-speed wakes with water-resistant aqua shoes. Aqua shoes are constructed of lightweight materials and offer a minimal level of comfort as you lock your feet into bindings. Your aqua shoes should fit closely to each end of your foot to keep out the water.
