Wakeboarding – Learning to go big!
Tim is used to riding small wakes like his 15ft rib, and whilst this wake isn’t a wake boat like a Centurion, it still has a medium sized wake. Tim learnt how to approach the wake, how to take off, and most importantly the timing of standing tall combined with the progressive edge.
Here’s the script to going higher: Cut out nice and wide from the wake. Start your edge back in nice and slowly. The closer you get to the wake, the more speed you want to have. As you ride up the wake, stand tall and push down on the wakeboard rope/handle. In the air, you can take your back hand off – but ONLY half way through the trick! On the landing, keep your head up, bend your knees, and ride away! I hope you enjoy the voice-over with the analysis of what’s going on during the trick. Big congrats Tim! David
