Wakeboarding question?
im starting to try some more advanced tricks while wakeboarding. my first goal is to complete a tantrum (back flip). i know how to do the trick i just have a quick question. when i cut to the wake i need to straighten out the board to start the flipping motion. my question is: how do i keep my speed from my cut and convert it to getting more air if i slow down to straighten the board. when i straighten the board, wont that take some of my speed away? help on how to keep my speed to get higher so i can complete the trick
That’s awesome that you are onto tantrums, those are one of my favorite inverts to do. Well you switch and straighten your board just before you reach the wake and then switch to ts at the top of the wake. Yeah it will kinda slow you down but its not enough to really slow you down and prevent you from doing the trick. Practice switching and doing your edge for a while before you go for the tantrum and practice cutting into the wake and then at the last second switch back and cut away (its awesome and makes a HUGE spray).
This might help….
