Triple up...How?

How do you pull a triple up? I mean I can drive doubles no problem, but what is a triple up?

I think I'm wrong here...but when I drive a triple up I drive it just like a double...except that where I am planning on making the cross back through the wake (for the usual double) I do a quick turn inwards with the boat...causing a V...which dips the hull of the boat in the water some more and makes that wake HUGE when you come back around to hit it.
Some people hit a triple up whip...which I think is similar except that you don't drive the boat right through the middle of it like a moron (the wake seriously is gigantic when you do this).
Good luck.

ya when he says they're gigantic... they are. my friend drove me one behind a super air 210.... with 3k ballast and i hit the 3 roller and i just launched straight up... i mean i broke the board and bindings on landin and effed up my foot but it was nuts how high i went (i did a heel off 5 and i got all the way to five and was still going up)

If you want insane t-ups, slow the boat down to 15MPH or so as you are doing that first turn or v that Kmagnus sketched out. Trust me they will be Shocked

sized.

Thanks guys! I just rode yesterday for the first time since starting this thread, we pulled triples for like an hour and a half straight. It took me a while to get the timing right and everything, but I couldn't believe how big the rollers were. We ride behind an 05 Wakesetter VLX, and the ballasts were topped off, with another 400 pounds in the hatches, and the waves were seriously nipple-high, and I'm 6'2"! It's crazy looking down from your jump and wondering when you're going to start descending!

I'd be too much of a puss to try it Razz

Seriously, a nipple high wake deserves to be immortalized in film.
