 |
|
I can cross the wake and edge behind the boat, when outside the wake when i go out either heelside or toeside I get to much slack in the rope when cutting back into the wake. What is the proper way to edge back in so I dont get slack. Have watched some videos, but happens so quick I cant figure out the trick to doing it right.

Don't cut so fast!!! Cut all the way out, chill for a sec, then start cutting back in.

if you don't 'hang' to hard, you won't get to much speed...
just do it slowly and it will be fine...

when you have cut out, wait for the the boat to begin to pull you back in towards the wake then begin your cut back in.

Buy a non strech rope, as in NOW!!! That will help everything you do and make everything 10x's easier.
