Weren't you just asking for tips on raley's? Rolling Eyes

Sorry, I'm grumpy today.

You just need to practice your progressive edging and timing is key.

try lengthing the rope some too your landing a bit in the flats not to far out. put an extra 5 ft on and try it maybe even 10.

20i, doesn't adding an extension make me land closer to the wake???

yes it will but it also looks like your wake is rounding off where you are hitting it so going farther back will have a better wake shape you can also try slowing the boat down some too maybe. what speed are you riding at?

slow your speed down too. i usually ride around 25 when i have around 3k lbs in the boat

I have a 500lb MLS(Malibu Launch System) which is right next to the driver. I also have a Hydrofoil or the Malibu Wedge Plate which adds 1,000Lbs of down thrust. On top of that my dad who is the driver weighs about 280. The boat also weighs 2,900 LBS.

Ya, well you look better than I do. I have a video of me in my gallery not sure if you would want to watch cause its pretty bad

yea definetly slow it down a little try that and then try that slower speed with the longer rope or try the same speed with the longer rope it will make a difference once you find the right spot in the wake.

Wakeboarder166, you keep your knees bent the same thru out the wake try standing up a bit to get the pop off the wake, when your riding up the wake
