For those of us who don't have the privelege (or $$) to be taught how to wakeboard by a professional or very talented friends, there are a number of books and videos out there to help us. However, if you want to be able to avoid having to keep watching your videos over and over again, or find that the books description of things just doesn't match up with the images in your head, or the sketches in the book, then there's only one product that's worth getting: Wakeboarding ... On the Edge.

In the few months that I've been trying this sport it's very easy to get into bad habits at both the basic and the intermediary level. While I may have been able to do most of the middle-skill moves and was wooing my friends, the fact is that I was doing it all wrong. This book has managed to correct my mistakes, improve my current tricks and teach me new tricks ... all in the course of a couple of runs.

By combining step-by-step descriptions of each move (starting with how to get out of the water and moving through edging, jumping the wake, grabs, 180's, ollies, 360's etc) with photographs to match each description and a CD Rom to watch each move in stopped or fluid motion (your choice) this book will enable you to use both sides of your brain to figure out for yourself how the trick is done.

The best thing that this book does for you is give you the confidence to go out and try the tricks. The 'fly tips' in the book will help you figure out where you've gone wrong in the event that you fail to execute it perfectly the first time around (which you probably will) and the fact that the book is waterproof means that you can have a quick review of the essentials before trying the trick again.

Buy the book, try the tricks and have a fantastic time.

This is the best and coolest wakeboarding book there is. You can take it on the boat, because of it's waterproof paper, and it made my wakeboarding life much easier. It shows beginners steps, like getting up, doing 180's, and jumping the wake, to the stuff the professionals do, like tantrums and KGB's. This is better than all the books out there. If you think it is pointless reading a book and seeing still pictures of wakeboarders hitting jumps and in the air, think again! This comes with a frame by frame guide of how to do it AND if you have access to a computer, this also comes with an incredible CD that shows you how to do all the tricks it the book for regular and goofy (except goofy looks a bit corny because it is the same as regular except the image has been rotated 180 degrees). Buy this book now, it's definitely worth it.

Jason Weber has really tapped into a great thing. He has created a teaching tool that is as much fun to read as it is to do.

This book includes a CD that assists those individuals (like me) who need to see it as well as read about it. The book goes through the essential building blocks that make executing the more advanced wakeboarding moves possible. I have used videos and other ways to grow in the sport and this is by far the best tool on the market. You can even take it out on the boat with you because it is written on waterproof paper.

The sections are broken down into easy to understand segments which give you alot of detail to start. It also has a section in the back for quick reference between sets.

Get this book if you are serious about improving your wakeboarding. Trust me, your friends will thank you for it because they will likely use it more than you do.
