| Threw a couple raley attempts last weekend just couldn't pull em down. Last one tweaked me good. I'm in the doctor's office and just got the news that I've got a hernia. Son of a bish. Hope it doesn't end my season. |

If you throw it correctly and fully extend your body the board should almost automatically get back down (imagine a rubber band being fully stretched that 'snaps' back).
However: that sucks! Good luck.

Key to pulling down the raley is pushing the handle straight down to the water and pull your knees in towards your chest a little. No need to do it like a toe touch and strain your abs... just don't make it harder than it really is!  |

Lil late for that advice but I know what you mean for sure. I just wanted to see how easy it felt to let your feet fly out on a full cut and it was more natural than I thought. Meeting with the surgeon on Aug 4th really hoping he plans to let it be and I can finish the season. I had to beer medicate tonight to fight off a deep depression. |

yeah... you're doing it wrong. it doesn't take a lot of effort to pull a raley down. Just a little pressure pushing the handle to your knees and it'll come right under.

| Stupid f'in doctor misdiagnosed. I have no hernia according to the surgeon. Time to get back out and stick the backroll I've been trying all season, I'll probably leave the raleys alone till spring |
