Trick: Half Cab

Description: Jumping the wake switch heelside, and rotating the board 180 degrees into your regular position.
When you are doing the Half Cab, think of it as a Heelside Wake Jump landing switch, except you're the opposite foot forward. Meaning, if you ride left foot forward, tell yourself that you're right foot forward and do a Heelside Wake Jump landing switch. This will help your form when you're in the switch position.

How to perform this trick: Start by edging out approximately 15 to 20 feet; turn slowly, keeping the line tight, and hold your edge into the wake with a medium cut. Rise to the top of the wake and wait until you're at the peak of your trick before rotating your board 180 degrees. The key thing to remember with this trick is to stay in the switch position longer than you think, once your board leaves the water. To rotate your board, pull the handle across your body from one hip to the other. If you rotate your board too early, it will force you to go off axis or even catch an edge. Keep the handle close to your hips and make sure the board is pointing in the right direction when you land.
