hey! you can get more height by cutting out like you normally would. Then make a slow wide turn on your heelside edge or toe side edge. Lean back hard and once you are just about to take off from the wake you should extend your legs. You'll get better at it the more you try.

what really helped me was a guy on my lake teaching me about progressive cuts.

basically that means cutting out then sitting flat and easing slowly into a cut towards the wake. as you near the wake edge harder and harder without releasing at all and you will create line tension. when you hit the wake and extend your legs all that tension allows the tower to literally pull you up and give you a nice floaty jump across the wake

just get out and ride as much as possible

best of luck man

get a wakeboard boat. lol...

naw just increase the rope length.

Charge harder into the wake.

Wait for the tension to be tight.

Cut further out.

Push/pop off the wake more aggressively.

Have the boat go a little faster...

maybe put some more weight in the boat to keep the wake height while increasing speed.

Keep it up!!!! good work so far!

ok number one try slowing doin like 2-4 miles an hour ur gonna have 2 experiment with speed and dont bend ur knees that much stand tall at thmiddle and top of the wake so u get as much hieght as u can but other that that ur doin good so far just practice and u will get higher

[kbdrum1]

everything right except keep knees bent and don't pop up your back foot. Keep ur legs stiff at the takeoff, soft at the landing.

your doin too much simple as that

you are bending your knees way too much before you hit the wake. its all about form and the cut. when you get out as far as you want stay flat board for a bit and when you start to cut put your weight on your back foot and just stand like you normally would. when you hit the wake pop up your back foot. this will get you higher and farther. ive been wakeboarding for a month and am teaching myself, and its simply less is more

get a new boat maybe?

[fourakers]

when you cut it you bend your knees. When you hit the top of the wake you need to release all that energy and stand tall of the wake.

despite the fact that your rope looks a lil to short, try to get a little future away from the wake and when coming back in try to make your turn as sharp as poosible- which will give you more speed. when you get to the wake try to jump up as hard as you can- not just tucking your knees up, pushing as much aspossible off your back leg. make sure you straighten up at the top of the wake.
