Trick: Lipslide

Description: Riding up the wake and sliding on the crest of the wake.
This is one of the most popular and fun tricks to do, no matter what your riding level. A Lipslide is performed by turning your board 90 degrees on the crest of the wake. This trick is designed to start outside the wake. In fact, you can approach this trick in a similar way to your approach to Surfing the Wake.

How to perform this trick: Edge up the wake as if you were going to surf it. You're going to want to edge up the wake a little longer and more aggressively than when you performed Surf the Wake. This will help you blow out the tail of your board to enable you to Lipslide. Once the board starts to slide, it is very important that you bend your knees and rock to your heels, leaning away on the line (away from boat). This will prevent you from catching your toeside edge and taking a nasty fall. Once you're Lipsliding, it is then just a balancing act. When you decide that the show is over, simply start to straighten your board as you come down the wake. Remember to keep your weight on your heels until you're back in regular position.
