It looks really goood. Just edge a little further out and cut in a little harder and you'll have it down like a thai prostitute. _________________

Don't know how far back you are riding, but you can also try shortening the rope to keep you from casing the wake (riding closer gives you a little more pop, while shortening the distance you throw the trick).
Just out of curiousity, what size board do you ride and how tall are you? That board looks rediculously huge! _________________ Neuston Boards
