Any Wakeboarders???

[Josh123]

Ok, I'm getting frustrated here. I've been wakeboarding for about 3 years but with the lack of having my own boat I still suck. I have no problem controlling the board while on the water but once I cut and hit the wake I'm pretty much scewed. Everytime I hit the wake my board goes out from under me. Sometimes I can land alright but most of the time I bust. Any info would be great.

You are probably hitting the wake at too great of an angle. Are you going straight across the wake when you jump?

I don't know, it's kind of hard to describe. You need to keep your weight over the balls of your feet with your knees bent and your hands down near your waist on the side nearest the boat.

I'm thinking I'm not evening out the weight over both feet. I'm not sure if I'm keeping the rope tight though. I need to get a video of myself so I can try to point out what I'm doing wrong.

dumb question does the board have fins on it?
