 Posted: Jun 16, 2005 1:21 pm Post subject: Please help me with my Tantrum |
 |
|
Today was my first day to try a tantrum.
any tips are appreciated 
im taking a big cut out and coming in on a steady progressive edge and then letting the wake trip me or w/e....well i do the spin perfect every time and i land every time just as soon as i land the board kinda slides out in front of me and i eat the water.
Im being pulled behind a 19 ft Mako center console boat with no pylon or tower....could this be affecting my inverts and stuff...the rope being really really close to the water?
Also i may not be throwing my head back and looking for my landing, how hard should i throw my head back.
Thanks to anybody that gives some tips...hopefully ill be able to land it this weekend  |

| if the board is sliding out in front of you, then it sounds like your over-rotating. |

Yep. Try spotting your landing earlier. And when you see the water under you untuck your body a little to stop your rotation.

Tyler, I Feel your pain, I did the same thing 3 weeks ago.
The cardinal rule of boarding: never land with legs straight, you will mess yourself up... |
