Hey everyone, I just got a seadoo wake edition this summer and ive only had once chance to tow behind it, which was this weekend.

i also didnt have my wakeboard with me just my wakeskate...

to make things more annoying, i only had a crappy old ski rope which was way to short and i was riding in all the wash..

my question is, riding with my wakeboard behind the seadoo am i jus limited to lip and surface tricks? or is there any chance of getting air (w2w etc)

http://www.seadoo.com/en-US/Watercrafts/2006/Sport/WAKE/Introduction.htm and i dont see how a pwc even a wake edition would put out a big enough wake to get a lot of air...but???

i go behind a waverunner 75% of time i can do w2w bs 180s, hs 360's, tantrums behind it, its a 2004 yamaha fx140, you gotta shorten the rope to like 55 feet or so to hit the peak tho

i have the seadoo wake pwc and ride behind it most of the time... it definitely helps with technique that translates well to riding behind a boat. i ride with the rope length around 45'.

My roommate has a sit down jetski that we tried wakeboarding behind. It was alright but I think the rope was too long (looking at all the comments about shortening the rope) so you might want to try the shorter rope to get better air.

no special knot... just make sure its one you can get undone later

are you gonna use the rope behind a boat too??
if not cut it and tie it off... keep a shortie for the seadoo

I have a permanent knot in my spectra line b/c of the jetski, tried everything to get it out, didnt think i was going to be getting a boat, o well Confused
