Trick: Surf the Wake




Description: Carving up and down the wake.
This is a great trick to photograph. Snap the shot when your spray is at its highest point. Then blow it up and throw it on the wall.

How to perform this trick: How to perform this trick: You should begin this trick 5 to 10 feet outside of the wake. Approach the wake toeside with a medium edge. Then, at the base of the wake, let go with your back hand and simply change your edge from toeside to heelside. Repeat this up and down the wake, and you will officially be Surfing the Wake. It is much easier and quicker to repeat this motion if you keep your upper body as still as possible. Use only your legs and the board to do the surfing. The harder you change your edge, the faster you'll surf the wake — and the higher your spray will be!
