Love your videos Dave, thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill with the world. I've been nailing healside wakejumps however don't feel I'm getting the height behind a bowrider runabout boat. Question is: Do fatsacs really help? If so any advice there. Current wake size is about 3/4 of a foot. Thanks :-)
im pretty new to wakeboarding but my understanding is weight/hull shape/boat speed will shape your wake. Adding more weight will likely increase your wake size. Depending on your hull and how the weight is distributed on the boat, it will change the wake that's produced. some wakes can be the same height but from boat to boat, but the shape can be drastically different whether it be a drastic ramp up versus a more gradual ramp looking wake. For reference I have a little ski nautique boat meant for no wake and slalom skiing. I put 800lbs of fat sacs along with 600lbs of humans in there and the wake is pretty nice. Night and day difference compared to only the driver/spotter and no added weight. Some boats dont produce a nice wake even with adding weight, but it should certainly get bigger at least. Also you'll need the power to pull more weight too. Despite my little boat that only weighs 2300 lbs. It has 285hp and can pull pretty good with the V8 5.8L. I also chose a prop that's better for pulling a lot of weight from a start.
Every time I try to ride cuffed/try a handle pass I can't get the handle with my other hand, the handle seems to far behind me to reach? What's happening here? I'm only trying them in the flats not in the air...
right on time, going to practice tomorrow
Can you do a video on grabbing a heel 360!!?
when are you coming to cyprus
For cuffed riding, is it the same when riding under cable (Toe side edge and then do it)?
Yeah! But obviously be careful of obstacles!

what handle do you use in the video?
