Here's just a quick video on a few small things that helped me hugely to get a solid blind landing on a Wakeboard. I hope they're useful to you, and thank you for watching :)
LOL about taking up waterskiing after too many back edge falls. This is basically the story of my life. Your videos have me stoked about wakeboarding again though!
I cant ride in the blind position! I can cross the wakes in the cuffed position no worries but as soon as I take the front hand off I will tic tock. I have tried to max edging, hinging, rear leg weight and reaching around fully. I have tried leaning at slightly different angles. knuckles are tight to my back. Ive looked to the shore and to my tail. Seems impossible. I think it might be due to my thick physique and shorter unflexible arms. Will larger fins help me? I use 0.8" fins on a 150 murray pro. 230 pounds.
+David O'Caoimh Wakeboarder brilliant cant wait to see it. I like both but I think the late one would be easier to grab it longer, so i would say the late one :)
Hey David, so ever since watching this I have tried inside out and ollie blind 180s all summer. I can ride handcuffed and also do a backside 180 (with handle pass), but every time I try a blind 180 of any kind I get pulled back through blind to my original starting position. So I pretty much doa blind 180, then when I land, I do a blind surface 180 becuase thats how the boat is pulling me. Is this a common problem?
Kevin Dry, taught me my first aerial tricks at the first cable park in South Africa more than 20 years ago. What a legend

Great video as always! My son and I have been getting back into wake boarding this summer and you have helped us out so much. Thank you!
you blew my mind with the inside tip that one is not actually blind when landing blind! I'm gonna use that! (of course giving you full credit)
hahah that's awesome!! Yeah it's mad, it's all about how you look at it!
bro...thanks to this..i did it on my first tryyyy
David, do you practice riding wrapped? If so, then how?
4:01 we had the exact same carpet when I grew up
Going to be trying backside 180's next summer... I guess I will have to settle for some snowboard backside 180's til then... Thanks for the tips.
+SteelAlchmey Sick!! At least you have the snow!! :)
Would you recommend nailing this 1 wake first and then going wake to wake?
