Double Up

[fish451983]

On double ups should I go outside the wake on the outside of the boat, outside on the wake inside the boat. And am I supposed to hit just the roller or where the roller and wake meet.

where roller and wake meet

You have to be on the outside of whichever way the boat turns (if the boat turns starboard, you're on the port side / if the boat turns port, you're on the starboard side)

[fish451983]

can you explain what port and starboard is

[chaz28o]

port = left / starboard = right

[simland]

So you come at teh wake from the outside of the "buttonhook"?

[pooser]

chaz28o, WRONG!!!!!

you wanna come at the double up from the inside of the turn and you hit the wake where the wake and roller meet.

[chaz28o]

How do you get any speed if you're on the inside? Not arguing with you, but taking the inside cut of a turn provides little (if any) speed...

[pooser]

the double up turn is pretty wide and the boat should have been going straight long before you need to start your cut into the wake.

[chaz28o]

Guess that's what we're doing wrong, our turns are within a 50yd radius and we try to hit the wake right where they meet

Sorry for the bad info, will try wider turns

[simland]

phew I was sure you came from the inside. But I've only tried it twice and failed both times but I thought I had it right.

seems difficult to time it right, is it?
