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 How to Grab on a Wakeboard – step by step

Here’s a trick to try for the weekend. A grab. Generally speaking, grabs are easiest heel side and one wake. On top of that, here are some of the easiest ones: – Indy – Tailgrab. There are a number of things that can help grabbing, however the biggest tip is to break it down. 1. Get a jump with just one hand 2. Grab you knee 3. Grab your binding 4. Touch the board. 5. Grab it properly. On top of this, some other useful tips are: – Get your pop first, then go for the grab. – Suck your knees/bring the board to you, rather than bending over. I hope this tutorial helps your riding, the same principles apply for wake to wake. Thanks so much for watching. David Details
