|
|
| I've only been wakeboarding for about three weeks, but i have developed a good feel for the board. I still have trouble getting that extra pop off of the wake though. I have a few pics of me in the air... how about some constructive criticism on my technique. |

just cut in with the front of your board facing the wake. lean back so your almost like sitting on the water. once you get to the wake, make sure you don't lose your edge, stand tall at the wake (not jump off the wake). You should go flying. Alot of people when the cut in towards the wake, they let off and it screws up the whole thing. Hope this helps

| Logeman - Your arms are way too outstretched. Keep the rope pulled into your waist so you can maintain line tension and keep your balance when you land. |

| Straighten your legs at the top of the wake. It looks like you're absorbing the pop. |

Just a self taught newbie here. I can land wake 2 wake about half the time, I was just stating how easy it looks in that vid. The other half I land on my back across the wake. Its my signature move, W2W CBall. _________________ WakeSurf and Wakesurfing News |

| looking at the pics, it looks like u r holding the rope at your shoulders. while in the air, what u want to do is keep your body straight and to hold the rope at your hips. also, start out small, when u get more comfertable with the jump, in air position, and landing, then u can start goin big. |

don't suck up your knees, make sure to lean against the boat to create line tension. |
