Try to edge before and flatten your board before you arrive. Don't lean back, stay straight and bend your knees, it will go smoothly :)

The best tipp in wakeboarding for everything you ever do is to fully commit. Never half-ass something because you are scared. Go for it when you are ready to really go through with it and be relaxed while doing it and its a huge step forward

Do a smooth approach to the A-frame obstacle and continue in that direction when you hit it. For the first time you probable miss the obstacle in the middle and jump to the water but you will feel the slide. Try it more times and when you feel comfortable then do late edging and slightly pull the handle to your hips to correct the direction with obstacle and stability. And don't panic when you hit the obstacle. You have the direction from edging so just wait when your board finish the move.

Just don't be a pussy and go on, dude ! I'm jocking ;) you don't have to be afraid to take a slider, it's really easier than it's seem ! Just look the entry of the obstacle, and go on ! Be smooth on your knee and when you're on the obstacle look the end of it, ;) sorry for my English :)

Bend your knees and stay low, holding the handle in one hand helps you to keep your balance on the rail, just go for it you won't hurt yourself, it just feels like you're riding on the water, good luck! :)

Try riding on and then sliding off right away and then once you get confidence ride the whole thing

do 360 switch as you are riding under the cable to get the feel and become comfortable
as far as hitting features go there isn't much advice to be given. you just gotta go for it. pick a wide and low feature and go with that. a kicker might not be a bad choice either depending on what other features are on the lake. when you're on the feature, stay comfortable and stay off edge: let your board turn as it feels comfortable and avoid leaning on your edges, or cutting, cause you will fall. also, if you want to stay on the feature longer cut towards it more last minute.
Try to edge to a feature and run before it as closer as possible. Then edge little more harder and run after a feature. When you will become comfortable this it, try to hit a feature.
Not much you can do to overcome the fear other than hit it, start on smaller features and work your way up, flat boxes are a nice intro if your local park has any.
Find a wide ride on box to start with preferable low to the water. Once you get on the box keep your weight forward. It is much slicker then water.
Just try and try 😊
No pain no gain😉
Massive knee bend and stay low throughout!
Before the first 50-50s you should go straight over a small kicker. It is much shorter and will build confidence for longer elements.
Make sure the obstacles are always wet enough. You are probably scared thinking your legs might slip off, but if you stand flat with knees bend, you learn how to deal with obstacles. Even if you mess up on the kicker you won't get hurt as you fall in water. Once you become confident with a wet slippery kicker, you won't be afraid of going on a box anymore.
Look at the practice in that app.. Thoose are really good for learning..
The only way you can learn to do it is to just go for it :)
JUST Do IT!!!!!
Get a progressive edge before hitting an obstacle. This will help You to ride it to the End. Try the Flat ones first to feel comfortable. Then its a matter of second and You will hit the pipes and roof tops
Do a little squat when you are on the box
Try it on the pussy box
1. On the approach you have to edging just enough to reduce a bit line tension. (At very first attempt don’t lean back too much it’ll cause falling on your butts) 2. Then flatten off by transferring your weight to the front foot. I figure out I feel more stable with one hand on the handle. 3. Keep the handle low just to keep line tension you’ll have a smooth 50-50 though the rail. 4. On landing put your weight a bit on the back foot to make sure you won’t tip over. Hope this help.
When you approach the rail get a edge the flatten out when you get on the rail don’t turn your board keep it straight. And always remember FUULY COMMIT ALWAYS
Try going on the dock and put on the wakeboard, then make it so half of the wake is above water and the other half on the dock
Just edge to the obstacle flatten your board before hit bend your arm bend your knees and that’s that just landed and ride away. Try with wide one first.
Flatten off before the obstacle, bend your knee in a monkey style squat

the most important thing is not to be afraid, you need to start from the table (slider) and then move on to more addition of the figure
Just send it. You won’t get hurt doing a 50-50 I promise.
Don’t worry, make sure you stay bent with your knees
