hey everyone,

so I have a 2005 sea doo wake PWC, and I've been wakeboarding now for about 4 weeks. i can clear the wake and everything, but I was wondering if any of you have suggestions for how i could get bigger air, as in height off the water. keep in mind it is a sea doo, so the wake is pretty pathetic compared to a boat. I would really appreciate any suggestions, thanks! (see video)

thanks!

It probably depends alot on your board. and the fact that you don;t have a ski tower on a boat.

i;m just guessing, idk i;m a newbie what do i know

Sweet video though

Looks to me that you're absorbing the wake with your knees. Stand tall at the wake and you should get more pop.

Try to carve out farther and then work on your progressive edge...also, whatwkebrd3, said is right too. Looks like you need to work on your toeside wake jumps too. And you can work on lots of tricks with the height you're getting now. Cool

yah starts your hs 180's and learn grabs. and when you can jump ts learn ts 180's then leanr those swtich. i mean the only thing i an think of is work on edgeing up through the wake and standing tall at the top, and then from there....i mean you are limited b/c of the seadoo.
