well i was looking for tips on the internet and i came across this. iam having trouble once i land i go for a good 10 ft iamwobly then il fall. i clear the wake when i do it am i supose to do that? ive tried it about 7 times then i got pissed off and just left it alone since we were leaving the lake. i clear my wake no problem my father says i usally get about 4 feet of air. i ride an obrien oasis 142 with liquade force transit bindings. is this a good board? i was told it was a prety good board/ binding package when i bought it. oh also iam riding behind a fourwinns fish and ski. what i have been doing latly to get a bigger wake is pack it full of ppl and i have 2 10 gallon live wells right in the back which i fill up too seems to make an ok difrence. well thanks ahead for reply's.

what and what.

the board and bindings are real good.. they arent stopping you from doing anything. can you ride switch.. maybe thats why you fall after doing a 180.

You could try and go in toeside, so when you land you're facing the boat.
