Trick: Indy


Description: Rear hand on toeside edge in between feet.
An Indy can be performed from either a Heeiside or Toeside Wake Jump. The Indy grab is probably the most common grab of all and will probably be the first grab you master.

How to perform this trick: Approach this just like a normal Wake Jump. It is advised that you learn this trick for the first time from a heeiside cut at the wake. It is very important to rise all the way up the wake on this trick. Then, when you're at the peak of the trick, simply reach down with your rear hand and grab the toeside edge of your board in between your feet. To raise the difficulty of this grab, you can reach down to grab the board with your back arm, behind your back knee and in between your legs. Be sure to grab the board on the toeside edge in front of your back foot. Then if you want to get real stylish, at the same time, you can Poke (explained later in this book) the tip of your board down for an Indy Poke.
