Need to know your correct sizing and/or how to set up your wakeboard?
Sizing Info
Getting the proper sized life vest, wakeboard, and bindings is very important when you are on the water. A life vest that is too big will ride up to your ears and be uncomfortable. A wakeboard that is too big will feel heavy and hard to maneuver, while one that is too small will slice through the wake and feel somewhat unstable. Bindings are the most important part of your whole wakeboard setup. They are what give you the most comfort, or the most pain. You want to find bindings that are not too loose and not too tight. We always tell people that you want them snug enough where your feet do not move around, but you don't want them too tight where you feet fall asleep within the first 10 minutes of riding. If you have any other questions about sizing, please refer to the chart or email us at info@launchwakeboarding.com.

Proper Stance On The Wakeboard
When it comes to mounting your bindings on a wakeboard, most people have never been taught the proper way.  It is important to start off with a wider stance when people are first learning, then adjust it once they are comfortable on the board.  The reason we start off with a wider stance is because it gives more stability.  For most people it will feel weird, that is why you learn how to get up and ride a little - then adjust it from there.  Most people usually ride one screw hole in from each side of the board, and their stance is a little ducked out.  By ducked out, we mean the feet are angled outward just a bit (just like how a duck walks, their webbed feet are pointed more to the sides then straight).  If you feel pressure on either or both knees, or the outside of your feet, chances are your feet are parallel or straight on the board and need to angle them outward a little more.  Try wakeboarding with several different stances to find out what works best for you.  Don't remain with your board set up the way it is because someone else set it up for you.  You will find that comfortable stance that allows you to ride better and do any type of flip or spin (ha ha).
