My 4yr old's 3rd time behind the boat

He's definitely starting to get it. I wish I could get both sides to clean up but my boat just won't do it at that speed. I've had him up to 18mph and it didn't phase him at all but it still just wasn't enough. I'm running the bow ballast full and TAPS at 1. Maybe this weekend I'll fill the starboard side instead to clean it up and kinda force him to ride over there and ride switched.

Unfortunate dirty secret of a Tige is messy wake at slow speeds.

That is incredible. I was showing my 2,4,and 6 year old and now they want to give it a good ol try!! Tell your son thanks for the motivation .

Super cool

I told my oldest that "i think he is better then me" and she responded, "of coarse he is, he is a kid" Awesome

I would highly recommend a helmet. I started my son wake boarding at age 6 and he was making incredible progress. The next year he took a routine fall just riding and he is so flexible that when he came up the edge of the board split his eyebrow open. Now he is scared to wakeboard but loves to surf.

That's a good call. His head is almost the same size as my wife's and the adjustable helmet she wears to the wake park was meant for him to also wear on the boat. We've had it with us every time but have forgotten to put it on him. Looking back I really can't believe my wife let him go with out it.

I've taken some falls with a helmet on that honestly felt worse than without. I think there's a bit of a mixed camp about them but I think it is a good piece of mind, if nothing else.
