Wakeboarding Learning to Switch

Here are my first attempts to learn how to switch forward foot on a wake board. Also called a surface 180.

Thanks for all the tips. Yes, the fins are on the board while I am doing this. I don't think I am quite up to trying it "on the wake" or "in the air!" I don't think this old body would be able to take it, although I doubt face plants feel good at any age! ;)

switch is the easiest trick on a wakeboard i am a fairly terrible wakeboarder but i got this trick first try

[jordanthebest2006]

Dam man your so lucky you can ride both ways, i can switch but after that i go faceplant by putting all my weight on my front foot . hopefully i should master this

it is tricky - good effort - i am trying with this same move.

it is like starting again going switch - got to be done

A good tip that I picked up while learning this maneuver is to bring the handle to your forward foots hip. (if that makes sense)

Another couple of small tips is to not look down at your board while turning, and to try and do the maneuver fast. (unlike in this video)
