Trick: Cross the Wakes

Description: Riding over both wakes.
Think of crossing two wakes just the same as crossing one wake twice. It's the exact same concept. Have your knees bent, arms straight (or slightly bent) and keep the tip of the board pointing in the direction that you are traveling. The first time you try this trick, you should cut into the wakes heelside.

How to perform this trick: Start by edging out about 10 feet. At this point, you'll hardly have to edge at all. The natural pull from the boat will get you up and over the first wake, and your momentum should carry you over the second wake. If it doesn't, after crossing the first wake, apply a little pressure to your heelside or toeside edge (depending upon which way you're traveling). This will give you a little more speed in order to get you over the second wake. Remember to keep the board pointing in the direction that you are traveling (especially toeside) and you should be fine.
