"Wake Piping"?

Okay I thought it could have been just too much WBU to think you could actually do it, and then I saw Boom Box and then I saw Watson's part and he "wake piped" a 3 or a 5. I saw Shaun Murray's Push It and he does these huge one wake tantrums. My question is, how do you get the pop to do this? It looks so sick when they can get maybe 3 feet over the lip!

you mean re-entry tricks?

i can do re-entry tantrums but i really have no idea how i do them. i just go up to the wake and try and pop backwards, they aren't that fun but it seems to be a crowd pleaser

Yeah re-entry... How do you pop on those and still land back down on the wake? I ride pipe a lot on snowboard and I know it's a lot different Razz

You got to edge up the wake alittle, load the line, and switch edges really hard.

Phil, would you need a large wake to do that, otherwise it's pretty much a surf carve? Confused

you don't need a large wake so much, but a pretty vertical one, if your wake doesn't come vertical at the top it's gonna be pretty hard to pull yourself back as you won't have anything to push back off of

what relly makes a huge pipe is that if you drive 2 wakeboard boats close and side by side it creates a huge spine right where you ride at but you might wanta give that a try

The spine is in the middle of the two boats, and you cant edge into it, since it is etiher behind you or under you. Also the two wakes are fairly close together so another hinderance to your edge, finally, unless you got robots driving identically weighted boats (perfectpass doesn't work) the spine is constantly changing.

But its kick ass for wakesurfing

Im sorry.. i miss informed you.. one boat needs to be alittle in front of the one the person is riding behind, but the pipe is right down the middle of the wake of the boat your riding behind.. not in the middle of the 2 boats.. that make no sence
