Whoa...

The fins probably weren't keeping you from getting up, even if they were on wrong. Both fins should have the taller side facing the ends.

You want the driver to get the rope tight and just barely be in gear, just enough to get the rope tight. Once the rope tightens the board will stay on your feet and you can get up like a wakeboard.

For getting up, there's a few ways to go about it.

1. Holding the board in front of you, and putting your feet on just before the rope tightens up.

2. Standing on top of the board, and as the rope tightens up lean back so the board is at a slight angle. Let it float up in front of you if needed.

3. The weird way that I hate, which is letting the board float, lean back and
let your heels rest on the board, and push them down as the rope tightens.

Hope that helps. Also check out how to get up in the trick tips section of this site. http://www.wakeskating.com/tricks/getup.php

As for pressure cracks, where are they on the board?

yeah hes gotta hit the throttle, i mean he can ease into it if u want or if u go faster youll pop out fast, but u dont want the rope to yank outta ur hand or ur arms feeling like they are gonna fall outta the socket
