For most people it’s an easy learning curve. Once you’ve mastered the technique of standing up, it really doesn’t matter how good you are, you’ll still have fun. As you gain confidence, you can up the ante and start wake crossing and attempting your first tentative jumps. The Vaal Dam is a water sports paradise and this old classic is always a winner as its easier to master than wakeboarding.
