Same rules for ts as hs. Edge progressive, extend legs at the wake to get good pop. Try not to make it more complicated than it is Cool

Knees bent.

Stand tall, at the wake, just like a HS jump. The only edge where you're "allowed" to change your body position (while edging.) are trip flip edges.

hey i used to think it was whatever was facing the boat, not what was edging

heelside is when your heels are digging in the water, toes facing the boat

toeside is when your toes are digging in the water, heels facing the boat
