Instructions

    • 1

      Ride on the left side of the boat, holding the handle in the baseball bat grip (one hand over, one hand under).

    • 2

      Cut toward the wake, gathering as much speed as possible.

    • 3

      Jump off the crest of the wake.

    • 4

      Turn your head and torso to the right while pulling the rope handle to your left side.

    • 5

      Pull your knees to your chest to get the nose of your board to point straight up.

    • 6

      Return your head and torso to their starting positions by pulling on the rope.

    • 7

      Push your knees down so that the nose of your board is slightly higher than the tail.

    • 8

      Turn your hips so that you land riding in the direction the boat is traveling. Keep the handle pulled close to your body.
