How to get the most air on a wakeboard?

Question

I've been wakeboarding for a couple of years now and can do a few tricks, grabs and spins, just a few basic tricks....but no matter how hard I try I can't seem to get as much air as I would like! Any tips?

Answer 1

think hard about approaching the wake with your progressive cut and pulling your hardest at the wakes transition, keeping the board on edge. if you flatten out the board you will defeat your air. I struggled with this until a few weeks ago. I had cased the wake so many times i was getting afraid to try any more. finally i said "ok. do or die" I did it and have been getting over tower height since.! dont think to hard about what you'll do in the air just tell yourself to pull through the wake hard while on edge.

Answer 2

Get a board especially designed to FLY HIGH.

Lose some weight.

Take a lesson.

Answer 3

thanks for those tips Squirt and Dontknow.

I was struggling getting the air I want too.  My problem was keeping it on the edge

Answer 4

get your board out as far as you can  then as you cut back in make sure you stay on edge or else ur board will flatten out and there goes your air so stay on your edge and as soon as you hit the top of the wake straighten out your legs
