|
|
In the flats I can cut hard, have lots of control toeside and even ollie. But when I hit the wake I get destroyed.
any ideas or tips to help me pop off the wake toeside? How do you guys postition your body and are you jumping into it like heelside? |

Greg Nunn told me put 80% of my wt on the front toes, also turn my back to the boat and aproach it head on.
My best thought when doing it is turn that forward shoulder away from the boat and attack the wake...you have to try it to appreciate the effect
Don't forget to do it progressively |

| i can never hit the wake toeside and do a wake jump only. i always have to wave my arms around to keep balance. when i do 180's, 360's, and flips off of it toeside, i have no problem at all. try to do a w2w 180 and you will feel a lot more comfortable. |

| strong handle positin. try holding your hands closer together on the handle and keeping the handle at your lead help. this will fix 90% of the problems people have when wakeboarding. |
