Wakeboarder :: 360

I finally landed a 360 today it took me like 7 tries but I just concentrated on pulling the handle toward my hip and rode away perfectly smooth it felt so awesome. I can't wait to get back out there and practice them some more.

walker, just take a big wake jump, you dont need as much as u think

also if your so worried about that, go a little slower.. it helps because the wake is even bigger plus crashes dont hurt... orrrr try one off of a roller or behind a pwc its not that difficult

I don't think you need to go big at all on a 3. When I was first learning them I could do them more consistently on small wakes and not edge too hard. It was almost easier to ollie 360. The main thing is don't rotate off the wake, then yank the handle hard.

canadian_wakeboarder, if your worried about the handlepass, go with a ts 3, because that makes the handle pass easier in my opnion.
