Just been working on my w2w.

I don't have a tower on my boat, its a Chaparral 204ssi, and I don't feel like I can get much more air. Of course I'm using a regular ski line, and usually the wake is alot cleaner, similar to the second picture.

I'll see if I can attach more of me cutting and getting off the wake but that will be later.





In this one I just was pulling my legs up to grab, I'm typically pretty good at standing up on the wake.

Holy blast from the past I remember when my best friend had just gotten that board and was super stoked because he ordered the model before it and they sent him the new one (at the time). From the setup your workin with that looks pretty good. You might be able to hold your edge longer because in most of the pics your nose of the board looks like its facing the boat.

K so i had this problem a while ago too soo pretty much the 2 main problems everyone has is that they go at the wake with a nice hard edge but square off right at the top of the wake which kill they're pop it looks like hat what your doin in theses pics. Also and it looks like your doing this aswell your not supposed to jump at the top of the wake it kills your pop when you jump and suck up your legs to your chest, try just standing up tall at the top and stand tall while in the air. So go to the wake and just ride over while keeping your edge don't jump just like your carving then try jump but only landing in the middle of the wake then carve out as far as you can drift in like 1 foot of so then build up speed till your truckin it at the wake full speed then at the top stand straight you'll either land on the other wake nice and smooth or land in the flats if you have enough speed. Have fun.

Ok just got a new spectra rope and my new board (2009 Ps3) I was borrowing that board froma friend. I've been working on what youve been mentioning. also I got to run behind a buddy's boat that had a tower and noticed a huge difference in the height. unfortunately I'm still pulling off the tow hook on my boat.

thanks for the help regardless, still have alot to learn. Finally landed a handful of w2w 180s.
