off-axis drift

[bjackson]

the other day when I was out riding I thought I'd try what I just read in the newest issue of wakeboarding magazine about drifting off-axis. but when I was trying them my legs would either not drift out at all or go all out like a raley. how do I get in between, its probably something easy like adjusting my cut, but I am sure you guys would know better then me. thanks

take a medium approach and I think its best to give a little load at the bottom of the wake to get some extra edge thru the wake. This will give you proper release to get the board to do exactly that, drift up and behind you. Once hip level, keep the line in tight to control your board back under you. This might require more strength than your used to but dont let that line get away from you and you'll do fine.
