How do you jump up the wake and come down the same side? It looks basic enough, but I can't get it down in my head.

Doing that is an EXCELLENT way to learn how to push off the wake for good pop, it teaches you to build good power and to use your line tension. By 'pushing off' I mean bouncing off your back foot like an ollie, but you keep the line tight and try to jump 'away' from the boat.

So come in toeside, ride about half way up the wake, then come off yoru edge a little (shift weight to your heels) and push off the wake like a natural ollie. Think of pushing off the wake and away from the boat and keep the handle at your hips. You can do them with your back hand dropped if it helps you stay in control.

We rode with a couple new riders the other day and had them trying that, they were grabbing them indy after a few attempts. You can also ollie into butterslides if you get good control, those look cool.

Thanks for the tips Jim. I'm going to give it a shot this weekend. If it doesn't wind up looking like crap, I may post a pic.
