Is this one of these things where you can just start trying it or do you have to master 500 surface turns to "graduate" to a flip? I can do a handful of surface tricks, but I can't clear both wakes with a 14M line at 18mph. Can't get that "pop".

Going down the lake footing at 46mph:o))) or stepping off the boat and footing, then stepping back into the boat, give a kiss to the driver (me) as I drive down the lake.......

That definitely sounds better to me!

If you can't clear both wakes yet, you're not ready for an aerial trick, IMO. Line load is very important and if you're not clearing the backside crest, then you're not loading into the frontside crest.

Very impressive Fo Sho! :cool:After them moves, you had No chance. -he had you Hook Line and Sinker!!!

Ha, Ha, Ha........You got it!!.........then I had to impress him and learn how to foot, trick, slalom, wakeboard, snow ski and snowmobile! oh boy the list is looong.........lol, but for sure it has changed my life:o)

Have a great day!

There are a few keys to getting proper load:

First, you want to have your arms out straight; Don't pull on them as you come into the wake.  When you cut into the wakes, the handle should be about midway between your shoulders and your hips in the verticle plane, and it should stay there until you land.  Second, keep your upper body upright - you don't want to lean with your upper body.  So, as you are coming into the wakes your spine should be perpendicular to the water.  Basically you're torso and arms should move very little.  Go about a foot or two outside the wakes and cut in progressively.  This implies that the cut becomes more aggressive as you get to the wake.  Given that your upper body is staying quite upright, you'll cut by using much the same stance you would if you were in a game of tug-o-war.  You grab onto the rope and do the work with your legs.  When you get to the wake you need to extend your legs so they are completely straight at the top of the wakes.
