i'm working on geting some air and clearing both wakes but i keep falling on the landing - any tips for landing?? as well as tips for falling without killing yourself each time Mad

? should you tighten up your muscles so you aren't just thrown and twisted into a pretzel when you hit the water?

thanks for any help!! Very Happy

edge as you land

just loosen up, when your tail hits the water, just absorb loosely. dont try to stay rigid or you will pop right after you land. gR.

use your legs to absorb the landing

It helps me to think about landing on a harder edge that i took off on, it usually doesn't work like that, but it helps me to stay on an edge and not slipping out

first i bet you don't hold on2 the rope the whole entire time u let go (i could be wrong) but also have your knees bent a little bit and get some more boat speed so when u land on the water u glideeeee on it not flat impact.
