One of the easiest ways to get up on your wakeboard the first time is to sit or lie in the water with your knees bent and have the board parallel with the boat. Instead of starting out slowly, have the driver accelerate so the boat has enough power to pull you up. Note: This will take a few times for the driver to figure out the right speed. This will have the effect of "popping" you out of the water. Once you start to feel the pressure on your legs so the tip is out of water. You have to do this right when you feel pressure because there is too much drag when the board is parallel. Once the tip is up, stand up and hold the rope close to you and keep your weight on the back foot so you are not pulled forward. Stay in this position until you are all the way up and the boat is going fast enough. Now you can begin to turn and have fun.
