hey , I just joined... I am 31 y/o, 5-11, 185-190 (depending on the day) and i started wakeboarding with my cousin more or less this year. we ride a 2002 DoubleUp Soul Series 145 with average bindings (wet-tech)...good starter kit....we love the sport and think its great to see whats happening on the web. I can do W2W jumps, surface 180's, ollie 180. This weekend I landed my first W2W 180 (almost!) and am just loving it...getting pretty confident...working on an air raylie...kinda gettin it.....I ride switch okay (not great)...I am looking for suggestions for my next trick ....dying for the day of my 1st invert!!....also some suggestions from some of you guys on what our next board should be...thinking a 6-fin like the Trip 143 (ours is a 2 fin).... thanks alot and i look fwd to being part of the community...[we have an 18 foot whaler with a 5 ft pylon we installed ...dont have the money for a proper tower boat, but we get by!!]

You could add a grab to your 180 when you get it wake to wake. Get your TS jumps and switch jumps down so that you have a good foundation. Once you get these down you will be able to advance much quicker.

my first sizzle was an indy ( lift you legs and grab, don't lean down and grab) and get a hyperlite. they are usuallyexpensive tho

if you have your FS 180 down, try it backside, then switch, HS, TS, pretty much so you can do it any way. then grab 1's, then move on to 360's, and then go for inverts
