Wake jump

If you have seen the previous installment on Wakeboard Tricks I, you may have wondered where the rest of the modalities are. Don't wait any longer, because here you have them:

  • Inverted: Once you handle the grabs and the rotations the inverted ones will practically come on their own. We keep in mind that this type of trick refers to any maneuver that we perform in the air as long as the head is the lowest point of the body. Riders have three axes on which to rotate: one that runs from head to toe, another that passes through the navel, and a third that goes from one hip to the other. From there you just have to check how to use the various axes and make inverts as spectacular as you can.
    Within this modality you can find maneuvers such as the HS Backroll, where you will have to defy gravity by doing a cartwheel backwards. On the contrary, the HS Frontflip consists of a side flip but in this case you will have to do it forward. You can also ask your wakeboard instructor for tricks such as the TS Backroll, the TS Frontflip, the Frontroll, the Tantrum...

  • Raley Tricks: they basically consist of leaving your body in a vertical position, as long as you use the palonier. It is related to the previous group, that is, with the inverted group, but in this case there is no type of rotation. The main advantage of knowing this type of maneuver is that you can combine it with countless grabs and rotations, so getting a higher score if you compete is a piece of cake.
    The possibilities are endless, since both the Heelside Raley and the Toeside Raley can be combined with grabs, s-bend, rotations or 911, so it is better that you go to a specialist and explain them all to you.
  • Handle Pass Inverts: This group of tricks is more complex, inverts combined with rotations come into play, both frontside and backside, with handle pass or not, etc. Let's remember that there are 6 basic inverts: Tantrum, HS Backroll, HS Frontflip, TS Backroll, TS Frontflip, Frontroll.

So that you can practice wakeboarding and perform spectacular tricks, both in your free time and if you want to take it more seriously and compete, keep safety guidelines in mind. The first and most important thing is to choose a professional wake board school that has top-notch instructors and materials. Always wear a neoprene suit, as it will prevent you from getting cold, and a helmet, so that if you fall you don't hit your head. The board has to be suitable for you and your level, otherwise you will not be able to handle it well and you may suffer some mishap.


 Boat and wakeboarder

Do not forget that whoever drives the boat has to know very well what he is doing since you are practically in his hands and it depends on him that you are safe, since he watches over you. He is also the one who will control the speed at which you want to go, among other things.

If after this information you have any questions, contact a wakeboarding school and they will inform you of what you need to know.
