i started wakeboarding not to long ago but im haveing trouble getting enough height to get the full 180 degree turn. my dad is geting us a correct craft nautique sport but with an alumninum tower and 3 huge fixed ballast tanks in the storage compartment. so i could probably get enough air off that but want some more help getting more AIR!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a newbie also but Height is not that important to do a wake 180
I think 1 foot is enough. as long as you get any air this trick can be accomplished. Can you do a surface 180?

wakeboardingismypassion, why on earth does that matter?

Hockeykid026, how about an ollie 180? And can you clear both wakes?

When I started doing 180's I just practiced ts180 like 2 feet off the water. Just get the hang of them and work your way bigger and bigger. It helps me to suck my legs up alittle bit.

you can do a 180 off an ollie,so if that tells you anything...so you obviously dont need much height at all to do a 180.

Speed will give you distance. Acceleration will give you hieght. So if can edge harder at the base of the wake this will give you more air.hold your edge all the way up the wake.

It will help a lot if you make sure you hold your edge all the way up the wake.
