Wake Back Wake Front Wake 360

A nice easy wake trick to start with

This is slightly harder than the wake back because you can't see the top of the wake coming. Before doing this trick it would be a good idea to practise some surface 180's. As with the wake back you do not need a lot of speed into the wake to do this trick. Cut out to the side of the boat and as you start drifting in, begin your cut in towards the wake. Just before you reach the dip before the wake pull in with your hands and look over your shoulder to turn backwards. Hold the handle into your hip to hold your position into the wake (If you have the wake on your right side when cutting in then look over your left shoulder, for the other side do the opposite.) As you hit the wake push down with your knees to get lift. Once in the air the boat will pull you round to the forward position ready to land.

Problem : I have turned to the forward position before I hit the wake.

Solution : Initiate your turn to the back a little later.

Problem : The front of the board digs in as I land.

Solution : Keep your shoulders further back when you come to the front and don't pull hard on the handle, let the boat pull you round.

Problem : I hit the wake in a side slide position.

Solution : Start the turn earlier.
