hey guys, i wanna try to hit a double up tomorrow but i'm not sure how...hell i'm not even sure how to drive one...do you just go on the u-turn and turn back perpindicular to the wake? also i've heard lots about the "third roller" i guess that's the one i need to try and hit right?

zcashion, if you are goofy footed then u need to drive the boat in a clockwise rotation...just the opposite for leftfooted ppl....then just drive right over the wakes at a little angle and bust it....good luck

wakeguy2008, you drive it different depending if you want to hit it heelside or toeside. if youre regular and want to hit a toeside double up you make aleft hand turn and if you want a heelside you make a right hand turn(reverse for goofy) for driving the double you just want to drive straight then make an extremely wide arcing turn so that you hit the rollers that you made when you were going straight at a right angle. you want to accelerate through the turn a little and then back off as you hit the rollers to get the rider back to his normal riding speed. try hitting the first roller and if you can time it right move on to the third.

um, second sends you farther into the flats, and third sends you straight up, neither is bigger, they do diff things...

so on the second one you dont get as high as the 3rd?

isn't the 3rd one the biggest?. I thought the angle which the driver hits the rollers determines how high or how far the double up will send you.

the third one is the biggest. it seems like it when i hit it the second one isnt big at all. maybe its just our boat.

Yeah, depending on what angle the wakes converge depends on how steep the double up is and how far into the flats you go.
