|
| How do you do it? i rode an old absolute and i could get tons of pop at a 45 degrees, now that i got my new board without a center fin i almost hit the wake at 90 because at 45 i roll right over the wake. I know theres a lot of topics on how to get more pop but i think i'm getting a good amount but i want to know how to make it so i get the same amount at the 45 degrees everyone else goes at. and what is the difference between hitting the wake at 90 vs 45? |

diffrent boards have diffrent angles they hit best at.. the absolute is more of a slow boad so around 45 is desirable.. my subjekt pops best around 70, you just gotta figure it out _________________ finally got my boat!!!
