Davie boyyyeee. Landed my first wake to wake today with these principles. It works! I think one thing you missed from a beginners point of view was having a wee bit of balls to attack that edge as you approach, i was scared of going that quick into it, do it once though...piece of cake!
hahah the balls always come in handy!! Sick though Tony, congrats!!
what length of rope did you use?
True that
@@daanstaalman2953 I started with 65' and went up to 70' after I was able to figure it out, that'll be a few feet farther so needs more speed+balls.
When pro riders say “stand tall” at the wake I always had issues really understanding what that means fully... Best way I can explain it is like a trampoline! If you try to push off the wake or push off a trampoline you will buckle and get no pop. If you keep your legs very straight and stiff (and your body as well) on a trampoline you will pop up. Same on a wake guys! Hope this helps some people! Credit to the great Shaun Murray for telling me that in such a way that it made so much sense so fast! David keep doing everything you’re doing and congrats on the pro board finally coming to fruition!
Thanks bro, I'm working on that issue right now.
I so need to keep this on my short list for when I'm on the boat.
Great explanation. I get and remember some but not all on every try but hey at 42 I'm having a phat time learning 😎🤙🏼
I just got back from the most sick!! wake park ever. I had a great time there. It's a rare treat for me because I live in Joberg South Africa. My family and I just got back from a holiday at the coast. We found a river, so we put the boat in . We've got an outboard boat with a small wake, but that's the way I like it, because not only can we wakeboard, but we can water ski, kneebord and all round have a great time on the water
Just done my first wake to wake's last weekend - I'm sure this will help me improve and get out on the longer line xx
This is the one I’ve needed for ages, thanks for going back to the very basics. I will get this this season.
Awesome video, love this guy! You’re hilarious, love the accent .... REALLY appreciate all you do to advance the sport of wakeboarding and teaching us mire mortals how it’s done! Chapeau!
Damn bro, This is what I need. I'm currently working on this right now.
Thanks for the advice I’m gonna try it this weekend
Great video, David! I really like the thought of "pushing the table down" and will try that.
I'm as well glad of not hearing anything about "wait till the top" (heard it soo often, personally).
Say hi to Rob.
Love it! I learned wake to wake on an old I/O but just recently got a true wakeboard boat and I’m starting to get into some inverts.
that's sick!
For awhile I wasn’t going wake to wake and now I’m much more confident and clearing the wake, and it’s so much fun and it’s smooth. Well worth every bit of fear that it requires.
By far the best tutorial out there! Great job and I love your videos. I was challenged to do this by the end of this season so hopefully I'll be able to do it!
thanks so much man. And yes, you've got that easy!! Good luck
Thanks David! I feel more confident now that I know I don’t need a large wake. 👌🤙👏
FINALLY :) - I fell so many times this week, and all because of not holding an edge into the wake. I know to do it, then I get distracted thinking about landing or something else before I even take off. A sore neck and pulled hip flexor are reminding me to pay better attention.
GoFastDaddy I know your pain, I find myself actually hitting the wake correctly sometime and getting way more air than expected only to land weird and catch a front or back edge hard.
@@zjcrazy94 yep. Catching a hard edge on landing have left me wrecked for days. Even with a helmet. Ouch!
Sound David for the video, bought a boat and started wakeboarding in July down on Lough Derg, landed my first wake to wake last weekend with the help of this video 🙌🏼
I'm getting anxious over here to try my first wake to wake! Would love to have the first one on your pro model!! Hopefully its available soon
hahah hopefully soon! But try it regardless :) :)
Haha "take your 1st world problems else where" 👍
hahha Brennen, if you saw my DM's lol
Perfect Timing
Going to Croatia wakeboarding tomorrow
Excited to try it out what i learned 😊
siiick! Enjoy :)
Thank you very much David ! Watched the video 3 times went and did it 😎 weoooo
A video on rope lengths and boat speeds I'm sure would help a lot of people. Great videos and thanks for taking the time to help us!!
Thank you. Did my first surface 180 from your video a couple years ago today. Moving along with the wake to wake. Fat boy don't fly so hot yet but will get there
Pushing the handle down! Holy cow, I've always had trouble keeping a level axis. That just makes so much more sense but works 👌I always kept pulling the handle in 😂
hahah savage. Amazing how the little things make a difference :)
Just started watching your channel and I’m hooked!!! Where’s best to board in Northern Ireland?? Keep up the epic vids bro!
The last time I saw a wake to wake tutorial as good as this Dave, as the old school Matt Crowhurst ‘Fear is the mind killer’ video :-) good job buddy!
ahhh cool to hear, thank you :)
yoooooo gotta pay my respects to Dave, did my first wake to wake today now I know it can be completed on hardly anything my grandpa has a 18 year old 20 foot Larson sterndrive boat I’ve tried to wake to wake on that but I’ve never been as successful as today my neighbors took me out wakeboarding on their 2 year old 21 foot sterndrive regal it has a wakeboard tower and I did what I always do on the Larson and first try wake to wake. So again it can be done on a very weak setup but it is a hell of a lot easier on a better boat and the progressive edge is a very good thing to keep in mind and use and trust me it helps.
One of the best of your how to vids yet very easy to understand 🤙🤙
sick, thanks Craig
Great video Dave. Steve and Gavin appreciated the “in person” version recently @sidewake!!
ahhh great to meet you guys! Safe trip home :)
its winter in Australia atm but I'm so pumped to get out to the dam and try these tips!! gonna have to get a wetsuit and get a headstart before summer!! haha
That’s a sick backdrop, two new wake boats!
Hi David thanks for teaching
Here is one Silly Question 😊
Hands position for hs and Ts 2wake jump i havent get both😂 . May i get some tips for hands position hoding the handle
Hey dave
Thank you very much for helping...
My air time now is longer and comfotable...i've got more control in the air now...only because you said my way is good and only needs pracrice...it changes my mind and helps a lot wiht my scarry to do something wrong...
If you ever are in switzerland and need something, let me know and i will do my best to help you...hopefully you'll find some time to visit me/us at the boarderhouse in berlingen when you are in swituerland
Very best whishes
Cheers pascal
thanks Pascal, and yeah it's amazing what a bit of practise can achieve!! Enjoy the summer `:)
Great tut! 👌🏻
Great vid man! That lake looks sweet
sidewake is such an epic spot :)
Great vid David! Do you plan to do analysis on what people do wrong with their tricks? That would be helpful, too. I mean I have plenty of tricks on my channel that needs some improving, lol
Ohh good idea, I hadn't planned on it, but maybe :) :)
Thanks man this helps a lot
Hey bro love your stuff! helped me with many tricks. I do wakeboarding with a jetski so do you reckon the wake from a ski would be big enough to wake to wake?
this is very helpful thank you
i’m already able to wake to wake but i am missing some tension and speed, tomorrow ima try these tricks thank you !
Hey David so I just watched your winter tips video and I know it's far away but next time you are wake boarding in cold water with a wet suit first fill up you wet suit with warm water before you get in then have bottles of warm water to keep refilling your suit when you get cold great vids keep it up
Perfect tutorial! Is there much you do different for toeside?
2019 still watching! Still can't clear at toe side. David get a video on that!
Maybe I´ll have the chance to ride behind the boat soon. Totally will try a wake to wake then.
yesss, you'll love it! Very different :)
Dude your timing is perfect,spent last week at my boarding lake last week and mastered wake to wake behind the jet ski then switched to the ski boat,got lots of air each attempt but wasnt able to land any,I reviewed video and noticed lots of slack in the rope after I launched,any tips for this?
ohh yeah chances are you're either cutting too fast at the beginning of your edge, or pulling on the handle on take off - or both!
Nice video David. Can't wait to go out on the boat and try some wakeboard tricks. You going to be doing some more Red Bull things anytime soon?
sick Bill, enjoy it man. Yeah next weekend I've got another event which is sick :)
Could you explain a little further what exactly does pushing the handle down do? I have just about every other aspect you are describing pretty dialed in but I seem to fall a foot or so short of the opposite wake.
No excuses! Hahaha, I love it!
Thanks! This helped me land my first wake to wake today
This is going to help me a lot
Something I think helps a lot is changing rope length and sometimes boat speed. The wake is not as rampy as you get closer to the boat and the gap between wakes gets smaller. With big wakes, the lip at the crest can sometimes throw people off balance. For beginners I suggest starting with a shortened rope, closer to the boat. Once you get comfortable clearing the wake at each stage, progressively lengthen it. My experience comes from trick skiing, but I assume the same principles apply. Interested to know if anybody else does this too
Dave, great vid! But what about toe side wake2wake?
Killing excuses, I love it!!!
Keep the edge. Don't chicken out!!!! (btw I learned that from one of your older videos)
David I’d really like to see you try kneeboarding... no one seems to do it anymore, and I love doing it, and would like to see you try it
hahahh I haven't done it in years!! There's still a few sick kneeboarders out there now ;)
Hey David, love all your videos. I’ve been learning to wakeboarder for a while but my skills have progressed so much with the advice from your videos! Plus they are really funny, keep em coming! One question; how do you find boat owners abroad? Clubs?
nooo way that's soooo sick to hear. it's not easy, but often people will contact me. Also there is a website called wake scout which has all the info you should need there :)
David OC thanks for the advice and thanks again for your awesome videos! I’ll be sure to checkout wakescout 👍
Thanks so much
Nice view
Thought I would share - I like to slow YT video's down sometimes to more easily pick up on what Dave is doing. Hit the gear icon, and slow it down to 25% speed. Helps me catch the little things sometimes.
GoFastDaddy OMG. Just tried that but REALLY need to switch off the audio as poor David sounds like a slow, drunk Donald Trump 😂
that's actually such a great tip, I wish my camera was a bit better to slow it down more, but that's such a good idea :)
hahaahahahha
David any tips for me i can consistently wake to wake but i always seem to be pulled forward a lot by the boat as I come in to land. Thanks!
Hey David! What’s your ideal rope length for jumps wake to wake?
What is your recommended speed for wake to wake
Very good video!! Now we need one on toeside wake to wake😊
My problem at the toeside is when coming to the wake I end up slowing down and cutting my edge short, problem is that I'm trying for ages getting rid of that bad habit. Would love some tips from David as well. I remember some other video he has done about progressive edge, thats when I understood it, there he mentioned going from 1 to 6 building up sequentially, e not falling into de habit of going from 1 to 5 and then falling back to 4 or 3 when u get to the wake, really good tip, worked wonders for me.
Yeah but I used to love roesse small jumps and hate heelside jumps but heelside is ez wake2wake and toeside is sketchy af but I’ll get there someday :D
Hey David! What was your speed and rope length on that jump you were showcasing? What is your recommendation for speed and rope length for a beginner like me who can consistently clear the wake at 65' and 22 mph. Should I increase either of those?
Please do a video on how to toeside jump. Thanks
Hi Dave, is an excuse that my board can’t get enough pop?. (Obrien Siren)
How long of rope? I am sending it as hard as possible but I am not clearing the wake just landing on top of the wake...
STUCK in lock down.....have a problem jumping out of bed at the moment, never mind wake to wake ....can't wait to hit the water again, then I'll give it a full go.
What is the best boat speed and length of rope
David I’m 5ft 4 inches in height and weigh 8 stone and thinking of sizing up to a 134 board do you reckon that’s an alright size
Hii ppl out there i have some question what is the recommended boat speed / rope lenght plz help me out just started wakeboarding and i really cant reach the other wake no matter how hard i try
Does it work when the rope is tide Bellow in the boat?
Yo what's up Lad. Quick question if you don't mind. You mentioned pushing down on the handle...
Do you mind elaborating?
From the squat do you keep the handle low?
Do you actually push down on the handle?
How far do you push down?
Cheers
I always miss the right point to stand up. How can I get it?
How fast do you go when wakeboarding?
Could you do this on a jet ski ?
Hey man, do you have a set speed you wake at? My buddies boat has cruise control so he always sets it at a constant speed, but is a higher rate of speed better than just staying consistent?
How long have you been wakeboarding
How fast should the boat be going and what rope length should I use?
I’m riding a 2016 Moomba Mondo Surf Edition, how should I set up ballast and wakeplate also?
Does it matter if you have fins on your board or do you recommend taking them off?
Literally it’s just like a skate board Ollie imo for the former skaters out there
That intro!!!! 😂🤣🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
David I’m riding at 20mph, and have the rope shortened by 10 feet (I’m 55 feet out) even with all your tips I’m still landing just a couple inches from going wake to wake, should I lengthen the rope, ride faster or try both?
I tried lengthening the rope and my left foot ( I ride regular) was over the wake, but my right foot is just behind the lip of the wake, please any suggestions because my ankles are getting sore
il have a good weekend on the water cheers once ive done my paperwork (Y)
I ride behind a Yamaha 212x and it has somewhat of a wake but I can wake to wake easy.
that's sick!!
When are the boards going to be released boss man
in the next month I'm hoping. Pre orders went so well, so they are now being shipped to their respective countries. Unfortunately this takes long!
How fast should my driver be going
hey David. I have a doubt that is hard to clarify. Should I pop front leg first and then rear leg or it is both at the same time ? Or front leg is just pushing the water ? Most of big pops seems the guys pop front leg first and then rear leg like a flowing motion.
Is POP more pushing the board into the water or is it more a kick ?
Cheers bro
David OC, 360. I am crashing and the fails are painful.
The only problem I’m having right now is my rope is like 60 feet long and when I go on my toe edge and I get my tension back again I barely have enough space from the wake to gain speed. Also I’m riding a 150 cm board and I’m like 90 pounds with 8in feet so I can’t ride the smaller board so I ride the 150 cm one so I don’t know if that’s a problem. Is there anything I can do?
Evan Rindlisbacher thing is u should never lose the tension ‘’progressive is the key word ‘’ when u wanna start going into the wake just go real slow then start cutting u shouldnt be losing the tension otherwise u wont get anyspeed
Loving the new slowmo voiceovers! Maybe a little less pausing?
Ireland wakeboard conditions. Am I right
Your so right!!! Im 375lbs and learned how. ANYBODY can!!!
How fast should the boat be going?
19 or 20mph works for me
Thanks
i need help with the toeside wake to wake
tutorial coming soon
What lifejacket do u have?
it's an Obrien one :)
Come to Texas 🇨🇱
Jonathon, I will for sure one day!! :) On the list
Jonathon Walker FTW JRB/Lake Worth. Board meetings Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!!
What if you wanna do your best Randall Harris impression and launch yourself into the flats?
hahahh I'll let you know when I figure out how he goes that big. Think a lot of it is about not having any fear at all lol
My wakes nose dive right into the water at my first attempt. Kinda scary to try again:(
I have a pontoon boat tho
Lol I learned when I was 7 on my dads ski Sanger😂
