I can ollie pretty high, If there is something to ollie over. If not then just a couple of feet. keep practicing and youll get it. you will be amazed how much higher you can ollie when there is something to ollie over.

ruusian got it right. with nothing to look it feels like i only get a couple of feet but then again i can ollie over a no wake bowie(about waist high) pretty easily.

i find it alot easier to get higher ollies if ur stance is wider...i used to keep my bindings as close together as they could go becuz i was short but i moved them out rite much and found i could ollie alot higher becuz ur weight is more evenly distributed over the nose and tail and gives u more pop

That's tight derrick. I have'nt gotten over a 5 bouy yet, but I ollied a big round metal bouy at shasta, it was close to waist high. I can't wait to ride at a lake so I can try some more bouys.

Definetly try to ollie over something, it forces you to get some height. i started with some bouys that are around the spillway of the dam on my lake, then moved up to going over the "no wake" (ironic huh) bouys.

heres a funny story just for for the hell of it: my buddy cant ollie very well at all, so he decided to try to jump over a no wake bouy by having me drive the boat next to it and he would jump the wake inside out. when we approached the bouy and he started cuting out of the wake the bouy got engulfed by the wake and layed over, before he got airborne the bouy popped back up inside the wake! he had no reaction time at all and ended up linebackerin the thing! the bouy cracked in half right in the middle and it split the end of his new balance in two spots. he came out ok but he was kinda pissed about his board, it waas only like three weeks old at the time.

I can barley ollie, maybe a foot iif iI hit a rolle at just the right time, my friend however can ollie about 3 feet, he says you just stomp down with your back foot really hard and pulll up with your front at the same time.
