5-0 out of 5 stars Harf is King
This is a great look at one of the best wakeboarders out there, that of course is Danny Harf.It has information on lots of other wakeboarders too, and talks about where wakeboarding came from.I use this book and some of the other extreme books for a kids camp I work at that helps kids check out sports before they try them.They seem best for the junior high kids who don't know much about the sport but maybe have heard of some of the people in the books.This book will not teach you how to wakeboard, but might help someone get interested in the sport.There is a trick list which is pretty funny with things like hoochie glide defined and it's cool for lots of pics and reading suggestions. ...

Product Description
Ages 6 to 12 years. "Extreme Wakeboarding" dives into this spectacular water sport which combines elements of skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding. The sport's explosive popularity lies in the thrill of watching talented pros fly behind speedboats and use waves to perform challenging tricks in the same way skateboarders use the concrete walls of the halfpipe. Fascinating text and huge images cover: the basics of wakeboards and other equipment; the latest tricks developed by the pros; the newest wakeboarding competitions; profiles of today's wakeboarding stars. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a children's book.
Compared to the other juvenile literature on wakeboarding I have read at the library, this is probably the one of the more informative ones.For kids around 10 years of age, this may be a good introductory book. This book may be too basic for adults and they could probably get more information from somewhere else.

(I also looked at Extreme Wakeboarding and Wakeboarding : Technqiues and Tricks). I also found Techniques and Tricks a good children's book, but I wouldn't recommend Extreme Wakeboarding for kids are who are trying learn how to wakeboard.

2-0 out of 5 stars Average Book
When I bought this book, I looked read it and looked at all the tricks and everything else, but it did not appeal to me as "Wakeboarding... On the Edge" did. Sure it's a good book, but I wanted much better. I do not reccomend this to wakeboarders that want to get better. Look somewhere else... sorry. :-(

4-0 out of 5 stars Not bad
I have to say this book was worth reading. It also gave some interesting ideas for me to think about. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something to read but don't waste your last 15 dollars. ... Read more

Product Description
Extreme sports enthusiasts now have an easy way to learn how to wakeboard with this unique book and CDrom package.

Wakeboarding ...On The Edge is a truly new and unique product that fulfills the needs of wakeboarders of all abilities. The book and CDROM combination offers what no other publication or training video does - instant gratification and achievement through quick, precise, and informative instruction, building from the basic fundamentals to details of the more advanced maneuvers.

The book is printed on a durable, waterproof synthetic material that floats, ideal for bringing on the boat for quick reference. Beginner and novice riders will benefit from the easy to understand riding concepts, while advanced and expert riderswill find it essential in troubleshooting more difficult moves. It also includes a section full of clor photo sequences with bullet pointsreminding you of key items to remember to accomplish each move.

The included CDROM compliments the print material with short, slow-motion video clipsthat stop on relevant frames to point out proper body position and further instruction. You then continue to play video at your own pace. Riders using the opposite foot forward have the option to mirror the video clips instantly, eliminating the need for mental translation. These features make for a truly interactive and easy to learn environment that will enable you to gain knowledge of where things go wrong and attain your wakeboarding goals.

The athletes featured are of all riding abilities, including some of today's hottest pro riders like Maeghan Major, Gerry Nunn, Mike McLin, Dana Preble, and Bart Copeland to name a few. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars On the Edge
The photos in the book is poorly taken. The instructions does not work and the wordings are too clumsy. There are many better books in the market that can help a beginner and teach tricks to intermediates.

5-0 out of 5 stars Compulsory reading!!
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.

5-0 out of 5 stars The No. 1 Wakeboarding Guide
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.

5-0 out of 5 stars Learn Wakeboarding Fast - basic to advanced moves
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.

5-0 out of 5 stars This is the coolest wakeboarding product I've ever seen!
Dude!This product is awesome....

Interactive CD-Rom that plays tons ofbasic, intermediate and advanced moves in regular or goofy foot viewingwith detailed training instructions.Graphics are cool.I really like theslow motion option that let's you break down a new move into parts so youcan learn it (or teach it) quickly.There's a button you can click andinstantly go from goofy to regular--really useful.

The video is likehaving your own personal wakeboarding coach but for 100 times less money. I keep the waterproof book in my Air Nautique as a training guide.I'vefound it's an excellent tool to teach the first timer's the basics so theydon't develop bad habits.It makes their learning experience MUCH fasterand way more rewarding.I studied the video at home and refered to thebook on the water and learned a 360 handle pass and a tanturm THE FIRSTTIME I USED IT.Two people I know used the book to learn how to jump waketo wake on their very first day of riding--pretty cool to high five yourbuddies as they learn new stuff.

THIS IS THE PRODUCT TO HAVE IF YOU ANDYOUR FRIENDS WANT TO LEARN AND GET BETTER!!!!!!!! ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars the worst buy ever on amazon.com
this is the worst book i have ever bought. nobody in his right frame of mind would buy a book like this in a bookstore because if you open it the stupidity would jump right in your face.
page 26 for example has the very clever headline" all riders should be able to swim well" page 27 goes on like this"... stay away from areas with objects in the water. Logs and rocks can cause injuries"... do not buy if you are over the age of 4!!!

1-0 out of 5 stars Good for pre-schoolers. (3 to 6 years old)
If you have ever seen anybody wakeboard you will know more about it than you could ever hope to learn from this book.It might be okay if you have just learn't how to read, but if you want any helpful information on how to wakeboard, forget this book.It will only leave you feeling stupider than before you started. Keep your money in your pocket and keep looking for something better. ... Read more

Product Description

"Pam's books have wide appeal to boys and girls, to avid and reluctant readers, to teens and to younger children who are looking for a challenging high-interest book."
-The Bookmark

Since the Take It to the Xtreme series was launched, 15-year-old best friends Jake and Peter have survived whitewater rapids, an avalanche, a forest fire, movie stunt work, killer surf waves, perilous rock-climbing, and much, much more.

In this latest installment of the series, Jake and Peter are junior instructors at a noisy wakeboard school that is attempting to share a remote lake with a community of save-the-Earth society dropouts (otherwise known as hippies). Jake and Peter love performing their own tricks behind a powerboat driven by the school's founder, a macho young wakeboard fanatic known as "the party animal." Then, Peter decides to encourage the wild streak in a rebellious hippie girl across the lake. She runs away to hide in a nearby abandoned sawmill, only to discover it's not as abandoned as it looks.

Community tensions soon erupt -- and the boys get more than they bargained for.
