Shawn Murray wakeboarding school is on to do list this winter or early spring. I need to get more air. Had a great day today. Sadly I’m having to pull my boat due to water level. I was barely able to get the boat off the lift today. Gonna have to start using public ramp for a while.

Hi Emilware. Watched your wakeboarding video and see lots of great things and some pretty good technique. I can’t tell from the video so I have to guess a bit but here is what I see. It looks like you could slow the boat down a bit. Slow to 19-20mph if you are going faster than that. If you are already going that speed shorten your rope to about 50’. There are videos on how to shorten it without tying a knot. The wake could be a bit beefier. You don’t need it to be enormous but just a bit more volume with a decent ramp will work wonders. I run 800lbs of lead and 50% in all the ballast and it works really well in my 2020 Mojo. You can tweak the rampiness to your taste with the Center plate. Once you are consistently jumping wake to wake on both your heel and you sides you can start to lengthen the rope. Be sure to always keep the handle near your hip to keep everything connected (you, the board, the handle/rope). When the rope gets up high and away from you it will throw you off balance. There’s a lot more to wakeboarding than I can fit in here but this will get you on the right track. You really should invest in a proper wakeboarding rope. The one in the video has a ton of stretch and will throw you off balance when start doing a progressive edge (you will learn about that when you sign up for a wakeboard school). Happy shredding!
