Temp is in the high 80's and water is right...just have to find low wind....
Just started wakeboarding end of last season and bought a cwb 141 pure...it was stable but felt like it lacked pop. I was doing nice wtw jumps. Over the winter I purchased a nice 2003 mobius lsv and a couple of boards. One a 2007 liquid force Shane (rode twice so far last week and will never ride with center fins again:)) and a 2008 cwb transcend ...which of these boards do you guys prefer. My last question is about inverts...where is the the best place to start...I'm landing big wtw nicely(most of the time) and little surface spins...but it's just me and my wife which boards too, but nobody better to ride with to learn from.....thanks guys

Post some videos and we'll comment.
How are your 180's? How's your switch riding? W2W's only heelside or also toeside? Get the basics down WELL before starting to huck inverts.
Haven't ridden any of those boards so can't comment on them. You might want to see what type they are (continuous, 3-stage, hybrid) or try to ride all 3 types and see what you like best. _________________ FlyZone Wakeboarding Costa Rica |

Typical inverts to start first are the backroll or tantrum. If you can get the cojones to start trying the raley that is supposedly one of the easiest once you get over the initial fear(i have yet to). |

I only practiced switch a bit.....most off my jumps are heelside but I take small jumps ts ..
I edge really well and aggressive both. And yes I prob should do more switch riding and land some
180's......but I just wanna flip:) ill prob try one or two letting go in air first Saturday...
I've been playing around sliding up wake and getting pop edging out quick like with the tantrum.
switch feels so awkward....I got up first try last year and was jumping w2w second day out.
just havnt had Much water time

like flyzone said i'd try and stay away from flipping just yet and really hone in the fundamentals...i wish i had practiced switch a lot more when i was first learning cause my progression has been limited |

Also; you go w2w, but do you get good air? Or just fly w2w 5 inches above the water. Progressive edge? Position? _________________ FlyZone Wakeboarding Costa Rica |

I get decent air....line about 65ft with a pretty aggressive edge in. Boat about 19.5... I will have line at
70ft this weekend, boat about 21, and start my approach in further out in the flats. Last weekend
I mostly worked on standing taller hitting the wake and sliding around on surface. First
time I had went finless and love it. |
