Comments Off on How to 360 on a Wakeboard – Tutorial

 

This is a concise tutorial on how to do a 360 on a wakeboard behind the boat.

You need to be able to do the fundamentals which include:

1. Wake To Wake
2. Heelside 180
3. Surface 360.

Then it’s time to give the trick an attempt. Here’s a step by step guide:

1. Cut out nice and wide.
2. Use the progressive edge to cut back towards the wake.
3. Get your pop first, then initiate the spin.
4. To spin, pull you back hip up to the handle (with two hands).
5. Reach around for the handle.
6. Look back to the shore you came from and bend your knees. Details

So as the Zero to Hero series comes to an end (for now), I noticed there were a couple of tricks I left out and so I decided the best thing to do would be to make a video about these intermediate level fundamentals.

The first is the Ollie, which I have done a full tutorial on before, the second is an ollie 180 (bunnyhop) and the last is riding cuffed/blind.

These are all essential for progress, whether it’s for more advanced tricks, competitions or anything else. Details

Comments Off on How to 180 on a Wakeboard – 3 Easy Versions

In today’s video we’re going to learn how to do 180s. These are fundamental to wakeboarding, particularly as you progress your riding, as they’ll open many doors to more difficult tricks. First up, I find the easiest 180 is the Half Cab, as you land in your normal riding position. The second easiest is the toeside 180 and then the heel side. The most difficult one is certainly switch toeside – no pressure to learn this yet! The main things to focus on when doing any spins on a wakeboard are: to go up first, then spin, as if you spin off the wake you’ll get a faceplant! I hope this video helps, and feel free to ask any questions below. David

Comments Off on What is Wakeboarding? | Zero To Hero | New Series | Wakeboarding 101

I am delighted to finally get this new series underway. It’s something I have wanted to create for a number of years now, but never put the time or effort into. It’s called Zero To Hero and the concept is to have a documented step by step process of how to wakeboard. From never seeing it, all the way to inverts and spins. It’s essentially my wakeboarding masterclass! New videos will be dropping every Tuesday and Friday and all the videos will be in order. So as we begin the wake season, please join the learning process. I’m excited to see how quickly people can progress. Here’s an idea of some of the tutorials we will see this summer – getting up – crossing the wake – wake jumps – progressive edge – 180s – flips – spins and much much more. Details

How to 911 on a Wakeboard

The 911 on a wakeboard is a very impressive trick, much like the Raley (which looks like a Superman). it’s incredibly scary, but actually it’s not too difficult. I hope you enjoy the video and learn from it too. Thanks for watching. David Details
