We just tried our kicker for the first time this weekend. It was good for a few laughs but not to many stuck landings (none). I need help with boat speed and placement of the kicker. We landed upright enough times but the rope went slack and we couldn't hold on when the tension hit.

My kicker is 12' long and 6' high (see pic). We are going out again this weekend, I really want to stick one, any help would be great.

place the kicker at a slight angle away from your boat path (so you can cut onto it) Also dont slow down ride it your normal wakeboarding speed around 22-23 mph
