Tail press to 180?

I've been thinking about this for awhile now and was wondering if it's even possible? I do pretty huge presses and want to try to pop a 180 in a flow. Anyone do anything like that? I also had the bright idea to try casing the wake and landing in a butterslide....yeah that didn't work lol.

I think the tricks that sound like they would be the coolest are actually the ones that hurt most!

Definitely need vid Very Happy

Looks like those slingshot boards help with the flex for the presses.

It's stuff I love doing all the time on the snowboard; nose-press 180s, etc. Just so much more difficult at 23mph

I think I'll just run all my new ideas by you so you can try them and post the vid so I can get an idea for how badly it might hurt me before I try it.

Christobull, LMAO.....I have enough bad ideas on my own, but what hell post em up. Laughing

Haha, nice. keep being creative, you never know what you might come up with. Although trying to land on the crest of the other wake sounds like knee pain/broken board city.

GnarShredd, More like faceplant-o-matic Laughing

I got the idea from when I used to skate doing ollie to rails, wake to crest does not work the same lol.

OMG, lol, I just picture that perfectly. One time I got it in my head that you could do a trip flip off the second wake... you can't, but it's a good reason to sit in the boat and drink beer.
