if u do it wrong wakeboarding could set up a bad habit of leaning too far back when you ride. but thats all i can think of. it would prbly still help out though. go to a skatepark and ride switch on everything im sure that would help out a lot

in the winter ride switch every time you're on a boring groomer or cat track. EVERY time. you'll get comfortable fast.

^^^ what he said.....
 
As far as riding the wakeboard switch; yes do it. Anything that will help develope muscle memory which is about 90% of learning to ride switch will help. When you get on snow again, ride switch on all of the areas that are easy and you are comfortable. Ride as much switch as you can stand....just like learning to ride initially, it just takes time and practice.

ok ive been riding switch alot lately because im trying wake to wake 1s and have found that its been good practice and im much more comfortable riding that way, i tried jumping switch which is still awkward but should be relatively easy if i keep practicing i guess
