Different boat types

Does the type of boat you use make a difference to how much air you can get? I am new to the sport and cant afford a good boat, we just use a crappy old speed boat. Embarassed

the boat makes a little differece, but haveing good technique will do the same thing

jeffh... That statement is way over simplified... Very Happy

I think what Jeffh is trying to say is that with good technique, you can maximize the air you get of a specific wake.

But, a person with good technique will obviously be able to get more air off a bigger wake...

I also ride behind a speed boat, with a small wake... But its still possible to do basic tricks like W2W 180s and 3s. So I'm still enjoying it!

I'm pretty sure you'll want a bigger wake later on (like I do now), but if you are new to wakeboarding, there is a lot of fun to be had even with a small wake.

Thanks for that greg.

So just work on my technique and it will come slowly. Very Happy

the boat is important but technique is more important and even better it's free Mr. Green
