It's totally possible. No wake at all is needed for a tantrum. You can even do an air tantrum. That said, I can't do air tantrums and I've never tried it on a wave runner.

Try not to get too frustrated. It takes real solid fundamentals to do inverts with little or no wake, and there's no shame in not being able to do them. I know I shake my head every time I see my buddy do an air tantrum.

Here's a little inspiration for ya:

It's possible, but it's pretty much the worst venue for learning them. See if you can find a wakeboat with a tower to start attempting. I can throw a tantrum off a tiny wake, but it wasn't after years of getting comfortable on them behind a good wake.

I suppose the worst things about trying tantrums on a tiny wake are that you might get frustrated and not want to try it again and also you might develop the bad habit of hucking it, rather than popping off the top of the wake for a nice, slow rotation.
