Comments Off on How to Grab on a Wakeboard – step by step

Here’s a trick to try for the weekend. A grab. Generally speaking, grabs are easiest heel side and one wake. On top of that, here are some of the easiest ones: – Indy – Tailgrab. There are a number of things that can help grabbing, however the biggest tip is to break it down. 1. Get a jump with just one hand 2. Grab you knee 3. Grab your binding 4. Touch the board. 5. Grab it properly. On top of this, some other useful tips are: – Get your pop first, then go for the grab. – Suck your knees/bring the board to you, rather than bending over. I hope this tutorial helps your riding, the same principles apply for wake to wake. Thanks so much for watching. David Details
