How to Drive a Double-Up

"Hi, I'm Ross Skrudland, with Lake Lessons, and I'm going to go over how to drive a Double- Up. First of all, the whole importance of driving a Double-Up, is being able to drive it properly, so the wakeboarder can get to that Double-Up wake, and get the air he needs, so it really depends on the driver, to get a proper Double-Up for the wakeboarder. First of all, once you have a straight line picked out, what you're going to do, is take a wide turn,and give it a little room, because you want those wakes to start forming, and when you come back around, it will give you time to get the speed proper, and the correct angle, at the Double-up you want. Now, there's ways to drive it. Some people like a straight up perpendicular Double-Up, so when they come back through, they're going straight up through the wakes, which in my case, I like to open it up a little bit. That gives me a little room to travel through those rollers, to get to that Double-Up spot, which makes it a lot easier. It really opens up so you have more time. It's a lot easier to get to that Double-Up. Now, it all depends on the driver. It's very important, when it comes to driving this Double-Up. It's really going to help the wakeboarder to be able to get to where he needs to go, and get that boot that he needs for that Double-Up, so make sure you get that straight line. Take a wide turn, so when you come back for it, you can get your angle, and your speed perfect, for the wakeboarder, and that's the basics on driving a Double-Up"
