2. Bring hip to handle.
3. Extra weight on front foot.

Wakeboarding at OWC, Orlando, Florida
A wakeboarder can’t visit Florida without going to Orlando Watersports complex for a session. OWC is one of the most historical and important cable parks there has ever been. On any given day, there are tons of pro wakeboarders hanging out there. A big part of the reason for that is because Orlando is a hub for pro wakeboarding, but also because the park is pretty good too. In this video I go for a ride, get some GoPro and slo-mo shots going off the kickers. Hopefully you enjoy the video and thanks for watching. David Details

The Flip DockStart – The most difficult trick in wakeboarding
The front flip dock start on the wakeboard has always been challenging for me!!! I bumped into a guy at the cable here who has only been riding for three months and could do it, so naturally I had to crack into it and give them a go! I hope you enjoy the video. David Details

My Number 1 Tip for Wakeboarding!
The biggest and most important thing when it comes to wakeboarding progress is……. THE BASICS. It’s the most overlooked thing, particularly when someone never gets any coaching. Naturally we want to learn cool flips, inverts and spins, however, you can never spend enough time working on the basics, never!! Darren was guilty of skipping the basics and he openly admits he learnt this lesson the hard way! So remember, number one wakeboarding tip, walk before you run! ` Thanks for watching. David Details

Wayyy harder than it looks. Aaron Cutler has earned a lot of respect in the industry, but after giving it a go myself, I personally have a new found respect for him!

How I Prepare For a Competition – Wakeboarding
So, with little to no wakeboarding training in the weeks coming up to my first comp of the season (the European Pro Wakeboard tour), I decided to head out to SideWake for a few days to prep. Consistency in the game when it comes to comps and so I decided to work on that rather that bigger tricks. I hope you enjoy the video. David
