I’ve been wakeboarding for a few years but I’ve only recently started to get confident (mainly due to the fact that I started at 14 and now I’m 18) and I’m excited to start taking the next steps to start doing tricks and things
So I can jump well, but whenever I land a higher jump it hurts my feet like crazy and it hurts my chest too I’ve tried loosening my board but it doesn’t help
JokerChoker 2407 try squatting down when you land so you absorb the impact a little bit more. Also, think of landing like an airplane, not a helicopter, you want to land and glide through, not land and then stop cutting.
Ransom has it right! Sucking up the landing through your legs and not through breaking at the waste, exactly as you would if you were on land and were jumping off a high wall. He's right again with the gliding on landing. Landing with movement, on an edge, continuing to move away from the wake/boat will soften the landings massively!
I’m just learning and can nearly go wake to wake I have a habit of coming in squares and pulling up my legs after entry, I’m gonna try this! Thanks a ton mate! Cheers!🤗🤗🤗
Love the videos, thank you so much! Only a bit of feedback, coming from a skate/surf background I found it a little difficult to get my grey matter to visually learn when you ride regular but your man behind the boat rides goofy.
Thanks for the kind words and the feedback. Yes, I can totally get that this would be the case. Whenever I'm coaching in person, I'll always adjust this to which foot forward my rider leads with to lessen the grey matter strain. I'll definitely bear this in mind for future tutorials to see if I can adjust things to help the old regulars and goofy's equally. Cheers.
i’m able to do heelside and toeside edging thanks to snowboarding but i get taken out to wakeboard behind a jetski which means it’s got a small wake but i’ve also got a small rope so i don’t know what to do
Sorry this is so late in the day after your message and question and hopefully you're all sorted on the 'nose diving front'. Tanner and Lemon are right, picking your front knee up to pull the nose of the board can help for sure. Issue is that if you are getting pitched forward off the wake then pulling the nose of the board up is helping you 'get away with it' as opposed to fixing the possible issue. Your stability or lack there of, in the air is more often than not a result of your take off position at the wake. If you're weight is not completely even over both feet, with body square to the boat and upright over the board while holding an edge all the way through the wake, you're likely to get booted off the wake at some funky angle. Get your approach and take off sorted with easy going 1-wake jumps at slow speed first, with the above in place - chest up, back straight, arms straight, handle low and in front of belly button, knees slightly bent and solid (resisting), weight even and holding edge, from out wide where you let the boat initiate your approach and you just hold your position!
Hey Eileen. Sorry about the late reply to this. OK, so speed and rope length does totally depend on the boat you are riding behind. The bigger boat the quicker you often have to go so that the wake is nice and clean where you are hitting it. Keller below is pretty much right in that 18mph is roughly the average speed that many people ride at. If you are just a young kid (15 and under) then you can ride at a slower speed and still plain (not sink/drag). You want to be learning wake jumps over just one wake to start with so you can shorten the rope right up and go a bit slower, like 13 to 16 mph. Then speed it up to clean up the wake, keeping the line short so the wakes are close together making it easier to clear both of them. You just need to gauge what is the optimum speed for your size and the boat you are riding behind. You don't want to be dragging on the water, but you don't want to be plaining too fast either!
It's a great question. So, this board I'm riding here, has four moulded fins, near each corner of the board. My thoughts are that you need some sort of extra grip on the surface of the water when riding boat other than just the edge of the board. For most people, beginner through to good intermediate rider (doing a few flips and spins off the wake) having, at the very least four long shallow moulded fins like mine with the option of a centre fin that you can add or remove depending on your ability level. The confusion here lies with cable/wake park riding where all boards have gone the way of no fins at all and then only channels along the centre of the board (near the edge). This is because you don't want fins on features (obstacles) or anythingon the base of the board that will get you 'hooked up' (catching) on a rail or kicker. Also, any air tricks involving the need for really strong edge can be achieved without as much of a need (once you've learned to move around and edge properly with fins first) for fins to grip the water - the edge of the board is enough. On boat, the wake makes this more difficult and you are often moving much faster than on cable which makes the water harder, relatively, and therefore requiring more in way of design features on the boards base to grip the waters surface.

I’ve been out 4 times and already started doing jumps
@@travisohara1498 yeah ok leave him alone.
I’ve always wanted to try it and I’m trying it on the 4th I’m a skateboarder , snowboarder so I think I might be good
you’ll be fine 🤙
Brian Sahagian did it today and gotta say🤣ig I’m a natural , I was going over the waves n everything
Elementz Nice!
Elementz sick
It’s just getting up that’s really different bc I skateboard too
this helped alot thank you!!!
That's awesome.
beautiful and good way of balancing your body.
Ive just done a ts bs 180 consintently after 2 years of trying so I think im ready for this
Appreciate it!
Super nice!!! thanks a lot

Ransom Butler thanks I will definitely try that

I’m jumping wake to wake. Know your tips help me
That is great to hear!
ive been wake boarding since I was really little but last year i finally weighed enough to get over the wake and im so happy
I’m just learning and can nearly go wake to wake
I have a habit of coming in squares and pulling up my legs after entry, I’m gonna try this! Thanks a ton mate! Cheers!🤗🤗🤗
Squatted not squares
Can you do this without a tower?
OF COURSE!
Simon Feld ok thanks

I had him at Loch Lomond for me to kneeboard!
Nice vid
bro, who disliked this video... I dont understand why every video has dislikes on it even if they are flawless... doiiiiii
Thanks for the video !!!!!! ;)
My pleasure man. Hope it helped!
i’m able to do heelside and toeside edging thanks to snowboarding but i get taken out to wakeboard behind a jetski which means it’s got a small wake but i’ve also got a small rope so i don’t know what to do
What speed you recommend for first jump trying?
50 mph
I do have to ask when I'm in the air I do sometimes land with the nose of the board first. You got any good tips on fixing that?
Try to lift your front foot up a bit while in the air. 👍🏽
Tanner Compton yeah that helps a lot

Thx
When I jump and don't land my feet come out of my boots how do I fix that
tighten your bindings or find a wakeboard that fits you it used to happen to me
@@colesmith4969 its the boots that i come out of my bindings are tight
Mikey's lucky tackle box you land
Do you have bindings? Most beginner wakeboards have boots that aren’t bindings that just Velcro together. You probably should get some bindings

how about heel side jump?
So I’m 11 and I did a heelside180 I think if you learn to jump you an do it all
I like Japanese Wakeboard Thank you for the helpful video
how fast would you recommend the boat to be going to try jumping for the first time?
What ever speed you want, you just need a solid wake 😜
The boat should be going 18mph

Does your board have fins?
No I do not think so
behind a boat yes
everyone does , its how you cut

Thanks man
It's harder than it looks iv only just done my first lesson and I was able to do one handed and tried to jump but is hard
Youre just not a natural then
