This is probably the best wake jump tutorial video on UA-cam, so simple, yet so effective. It is so difficult as a beginner to resist the urge to flatten off the board just before hitting the wake, for me the best way to overcome this was to take an incredibly short approach, like 3 feet and cut all the way through the wake.
Great feedback FavStaR69! And I use that technique of giving my students a super short approach so they don't have time to build up speed and then flatten off.
This helped me so much! I started snowboarding way before wakeboarding so i wasnt aware it was all about maintaining a strong edge through the wake to create more pop. I kept flattening out and basically ollied off the wake.
Love to hear it Devin! Most wakeboarders don't realize what they're leaving on the table when they don't understand how much "pop" they can get by cutting through the bottom of the wake and then releasing their edge. It has to do with what the board is doing "in" the water, not "on" the water.
The part that actually clicked for me is when you were talking about a trampoline. I have a friend (and me) who need to work on pop. I'm going to imagine I'm on the trampoline and just taking a bounce. I'm also definitely going to work on cutting standing tall. This was super helpful. Thanks Shaun.
I just picked up wakeboarding this summer, and the knowledge you’ve shared in your videos have helped me catch up with my freinds who have been wakeboarding for years!
WOW! I have been doing it wrong for years! I have been squatting into my cut since i can remember. This just blew my mind, and you made it look effortless. With squatting i needed to cut into the wake really hard and really far away in order to even go wake to wake and when i hit the wake, i felt like i was getting the crap kicked out of me, it wasnt smooth at all. You did it from around 8-10 feet away, that is NUTS. You and parks are my favorite riders. Thanks for this info, i cannot wait to try it tomorrow!
This has cleared up even more now what Ive been told and watched :) now to wait till March and try it all again without my pushing my left foot out to turn for my cut and as I hit the wake.
Been watching and studying your videos just trying to understand the concepts of wakeboarding going into ski season. Currently I can wakeboard alright and land a full wake jump, but the problem is I’m really only getting it through speed and height of the jump. Hopefully I can implement a lot of what you’re saying in order to be able to do better jumps and easier, especially as the basis to learning bigger and better tricks. 👍🏻
Take your time on the 1 wake jumps w a little longer rope 65-70', 18-19 mph, and take a short approach (10' from the wake), to work on standing tall, leaning shoulders against the line and build up power to then release at the wake. You got this!
These videos have really helped a lot, I really appreciate it! I’ve been having trouble leaning back on the line for fear of the board slipping out from under me. Any tips on that?
Cutting too hard too soon. I have a video I'm putting out soon that shows the channel your board should be in while riding. You're pushing the tail out of the channel.
How amazing did that first backroll feel?! When I landed my first one, it took me a moment to realize that I was still riding and had just landed a flip! Stoked! Congrats Andy
Thanks for the great info! I've been hesitant to try jumping because I'm worried my legs won't hold up on the landing. Just today friends told me I needed to stand taller and hold the rope lower...guess what I hear all the pros saying now! I'm excited to get back out there and try jumping now...I'm getting dizzy doing nothing but 360s! :-)
Been "riding" wakeboard for years, but never been pulled by boat that made good wake to jump. Bought ski boat 2 werks ago...Just tried this going heel side. Cut in from about 10ft out, Stood tall right at wake, wrecked my front leg knee. Soon as I stood tall and board "popped" immediate pain in lateral knee. Awesome, limping all day and days before going camping @lake...no boarding for me for at least 2 weeks if ever again...
Hi, I noticed your comment a couple months ago and wanted to respond now that I also got hurt - but doing something else. I'm empathetic that you got hurt 4 years ago, but I wanted to give you some advice. When doing something new, it's smart to take your time and consider your skill level. "Within your skill level" you'll often hear. You also were unfamiliar with your new boat/wake and I don't know what your driver was doing, but slowing the boat speed down to 16/18mph probably would have helped you build a foundation and get practice before trying to send yourself hard into the air. Also consider your board size and binding setup - wider stance and "ducked" might help your knees. So, I faceplanted harder than ever last Saturday and it was my own fault - I think I stopped leaning against the line when doing a sequence of surface 180s and I might have also gotten a little caught on the outside of the wake somehow. Also, many injuries happen when we're getting tired so try taking it easy later in the day! I hope you've been well. Take care!
Great idea to go through this with this level if detail. It would be interesting to see how long it takes to develop that specific skill though. For the record, I got your original Detention video when it came out, and still can't get that kind of pop with the style that you display in this casual demonstration. Would be great to see different people's progress over time, trying to apply this specific drill.
Interesting thought Metaldude but I find that there is such a range of people's ability to progress that it would be difficult to say what is average. Plus, I wouldn't want to put it into someone's head what they should expect. Thanks for the idea though
Cherry video yet again! Appreciate all the tips I can get. One of my favorite tricks that I see you do is your raley to tumble turn. Could you do a tutorial video for he tumble turn?
Good question. It means that your knees are absorbing the energy at the wake that is trying to push you into the air. So if you crush, you are not going into the air like your are aiming to do. Make sense?
I’ve been trying to figure out how to pop off the wake and this video is very useful. What speed do you recommend to get good air though on a regular boat
Heya Shaun! I am a massive fan of yours from the sunny island of Singapore!! Thanks for this awesome tutorial- this helped me so much and i've watched it probably a hundred times or more! I was wondering if you could do a similar one for toeside wake to wake? I'm having trouble getting my pop consistent. You are probably really busy but I have my fingers crossed!
Shaun, Huge Fan of this video and i have been practicing surface tricks for a while now and starting to step up to going wake to wake. I am able to commit to getting 3/4 of the way across the wake. Any tips for being able to commit further. I think it may just be all mental but still working on my posturing approaching the wake. Thanks
What's your current rope length? Speed? Hard to say without seeing you go for it but practice a bunch of one wake jumps going around 65' 18-19. Start w a short approach and then begin taking it out farther. Have you seen this video ua-cam.com/video/NerZbJC_V1I/v-deo.html If you ever wanna send me videos to look at and coach you through w a personal lesson, check out the Givego app which is on both droid and iOS.
It looks like you stop leaning on the edge right when you hit the wake so that the entire flat part of the board hits the wake not just the edge. I assume that's also part of the jump technique?
It's really as you're going up the wake. Best way to practice is to slow the boat down, take a short approach and do small one wake jumps to work on that concept and timing.
I would say with the beginner boards it makes it harder for sure. That’s not to say that you can’t jump or do tricks but it is designed to be stable and not to cut/pop. I practiced for a long time on an old O’Brien and got pretty far!! I upgraded to a pro board once I could jump wake to wake and was getting more serious. It made a big difference with handling and getting a pop. Definitely less stable though! (But eventually I found myself cutting down on my fun size later on for more maneuverability)
Wakeboarding has come easy to me I've done it like 8 times and now I'm starting to get higher air but I'm tryna figure out how to land good I'm getting a few feet in the air and I pop it good but when I land my board goes in front of me i think I it's just a hard impact and I should take smaller jumps but most the times the wake is super big because ther a ton of ppl in boat it's a small 1980 mastercraft but works and I'm only 11 and the big wake pushes me up which I like but it's harder
In your case your probably not making it all the way across the wake. When landing flat think of your legs as a spring, when you land bend your legs to absorb the Impact of the landing. If you look in this video you’ll see him sink really low when he lands in the flat. A lot of Wakeboarders that have bad knees have knee braces to help absorb the impact so they don’t have to use they’re legs as much to absorb the impact.
I'm an old motocross racer,Jumping a bike is easy but I can't seem to jump the wake at all..I'm 53 years old with a fused ankle and just trying to learn this stuff
Legit watched this video did everything he said landed about 6ft past the other wake tore my acl mcl and meniscus to shreds it works but be careful out there

It’s really cool to do

Chris Staley that makes 2 of us
Perfect explanation! I have been coming in squatting then flatten out at the ramp, my air was marginal at best. This helped me to really pop higher.
Glad to hear it worked for ya!
I’m stoked to try these techniques today, I will come back with my results!
Right on! Let us know how it goes! -Shaun
Jus bought one of your signature wakeboards. Can’t wait to try it out
Right on Michael! Enjoy your ride! ✌️
This video needs to be in the hall of fame of instruction of wakeboarding. Thank you
Thanks Scoped!
This has cleared up even more now what Ive been told and watched :) now to wait till March and try it all again without my pushing my left foot out to turn for my cut and as I hit the wake.
Feel like I need to pay for this. Super valuable info and we got it all for free. Thanks, Shaun!
Ben Erickson i don’t wanna pay🥴🥴🥴🥴
Pay for it with a like
Yes landing in the flats can be hard, so hard I broke my femur, All healed still riding :) Great vid!

3.59 - the session I put this position into my riding I made my first legit wake to wakes. SM -thank-you!
Phenomenal vid. Been waiting to see one like it for a long while now. Can't wait to put these techniques to practice this season. Thanks, Shaun!
Great explanation of how we use the water 😎👌🤘 Its amazing how you stil can do those big jumps to flat with no effort 🤩
It's all about the physics of wakeboarding, the fundamentals ua-cam.com/video/eSJPitLMRY8/v-deo.html
awesome video!, wouldn't have ever known how to get higher on my wake jumps, this Helped so much, Thank you!
Thank you Sir, Will put that to use next time out.
Right on!
Thanks Shaun probably watched this 100 times but finally landed a backoll

what.... i had no idea. that trampoline example is perfect. i need to test this aproach

Subbing for sure. I have strayed away from the basics, time to go back!
youtube is such a game changer. great tutorial
Such a clear explanation, great job!

What does crushing at the wake mean? at 3:10
Good question. It means that your knees are absorbing the energy at the wake that is trying to push you into the air. So if you crush, you are not going into the air like your are aiming to do. Make sense?
Exactly what I needed to see. Thanks for this great video mate!
I’ve been trying to figure out how to pop off the wake and this video is very useful. What speed do you recommend to get good air though on a regular boat
Can get decent air around 18-20mph
This is exactly what I do wrong wow thanks Shaun
Excellent instruction! Thank you!
Right on! :)
Thanks Shawn!! This is very helpful.
please make more of this video, beginner - internediant tutorial, show us how u do surface 180 m. thanks

Everyone be watching this on the weekend at the lake

Great video Shaun!!!
That helped so much

Have you watched my load release video? ua-cam.com/video/NerZbJC_V1I/v-deo.html
Thankyou so much for this video!
This tip will take me to the next level for sure:o
is it same for cable park?
Cable is different off kickers but this concept is how you see riders doing "air tricks" in the turns, which some call a "flick"
Awesome video!!!!
Thanks Luis!!
What speed are you at in this video? Thanks
he makes it look so easy
Thanks Shaun!
Does my board matter about how much pop I get? as I have a beginner board (O’Brien Siren)
I would say with the beginner boards it makes it harder for sure. That’s not to say that you can’t jump or do tricks but it is designed to be stable and not to cut/pop.

I was riding approx 21mph
Wakeboarding has come easy to me I've done it like 8 times and now I'm starting to get higher air but I'm tryna figure out how to land good I'm getting a few feet in the air and I pop it good but when I land my board goes in front of me i think I it's just a hard impact and I should take smaller jumps but most the times the wake is super big because ther a ton of ppl in boat it's a small 1980 mastercraft but works and I'm only 11 and the big wake pushes me up which I like but it's harder
In your case your probably not making it all the way across the wake. When landing flat think of your legs as a spring, when you land bend your legs to absorb the Impact of the landing. If you look in this video you’ll see him sink really low when he lands in the flat. A lot of Wakeboarders that have bad knees have knee braces to help absorb the impact so they don’t have to use they’re legs as much to absorb the impact.
Liam nowels I got it today I got a few feet in the air :)
Quick hypothetically if i were to do this and go to high what do i do
This makes way more sense id be just tryin get as much speed an just try an send it
Let me know how it's been going!
Great video!
This video is great!
Thanks this this helped a lot
Right on!
Like your new vid
You da man thanks Shaun
Thanks

No way
yea, thank you man...the compression on a flat landing hurts the knees and feet... What board are you riding?

I just learnt how to do a tantrum (witch is a invert )
Does the height of your ski rope matter?
Thanks
. I live in Perth, western Australia and I've started wake boarding 6 months ago and I'm trying to master the basics
Can you wake jump from a large
jet ski
You can jump off anything, even a jetski. Not get as much height but possible. @@connormacaskill6030
Merci tks
