What is your wakeboarding set up?

[parrothd]

Sadly, I’m about 11 years into riding and still can’t get consistent pop. It’s a huge nemesis holding my riding back! I can try the drills and still just get it right once in a blue moon. Solid w2w each time, but without the needed height.

Anyway, I seem to like to ride faster than most so my preference on my Mojo is 70 to 75’ at 22.8 mph. That’s with all 3 ballast about 75 to 80% and 400 lead.

Video every set and analyze it each day.

Brandon Judd the (wakeboard coach) is going to be in Nashville on 10/29 and 10/30. Good dude that is really promoting wakeboarding no matter your age.

KnoxMojo would be a good person to comment on this and how he progressed. Scott really upped his riding over the last few years.

Knox really helped my son figure out how to pop. Staying on your edge, keeping line tension and standing up as you hit the ramp and pushing handle down all Helped his pop

Thanks for the kind words guys!! Getting coaching over the last few years and progressing has been amazing!! It is hard to coach over video other than the basic stuff, stay on edge, stand tall, don't absorb the wake, keep the handle waist level, and the such. If anyone in the Nashville area is wanting coaching, look up Wake Coaches, Brandon Judd, or send me a message and I will get you his info. Thanks for the wakeboard post! Keep at it and don't get discouraged!

Jealous you're still out!

You're hitting the wake more like a skiier and absorbing a lot of the energy into your legs, you want to extend your legs as you ride up the wake so that you go from a sitting in a chair position up to a standing position right as you reach the top of the wake.
It makes all the difference in the world.


I had always been hitting it similar to you and trying to use speed to get the air which doesn't really work, you have to pop at the right time.

First time I got the pop right behind my SA I dropped the rope midair as I had no clue I was going to go that high lol.

Thanks for the advice [mention]SONIC [/mention], I cannot wait to try it. Hopefully I get the “oh shit I’m flying too high” moment soon.
Do you extend your legs at the wake or keep them locked in on approach?

Extend them as you're riding up the wake

Shawn Murray leaves them mostly stiff the whole transition so that's valid too, stiff not locked though
