That's by far the best, most comprehensive explanation of the Raley. The physics is accurate. Instant like and subscribe. Way to go! This should come first on the results page
Huge thanks for such a great job for us beginner. May I ask some questions? 1. 00:14 "like it does if you take the wake out of the picture completely" what does PICTURE here mean?? 2. 02:30 "so storing your feet out directs the trick forward instead of upward" store the feet?? not throw the feet backward?? chest and belly upward instead of forword, but why here feet forward instead of upward??
Unfortunately I am still struggling with understanding what is a "release". Would it be swinging the front foot back (like people use to tell); straightening up knees; or bringing upper body up? I think and I am doing quite correctly the load part now but don't know how to release and not hit my face with water. And btw, I really enjoy your movies.
Thank you for enjoying the content. Yes it is a difficult concept to grasp at first but it makes sense once you find out what it feels like. For this trick the release is a combination of many of the things you referenced however trying to think of each of those things in the split second that it needs to happen can be overwhelming. My best advice is to imagine a bow and arrow where you are drawing back on the bow and creating more and more tension. Once you reach the desired level of tension, smoothly but swiftly release the arrow and let the bow do the work. From the sounds of it, you might be trying to force the raley to happen, when in reality, the raley happens to you.
The cable height helps as does the rope length. The shorter the rope, the greater the upward pull. There is a tipping point to where there can be too much upward pull and you will be more in a "dangle" rather than a load and release. It is important to work your way up to avoid injury as raleys can be associated to some heavy crashes for beginners who just end up "going for it" without the proper technique.

Kyle is the best wake coach on the fuckin' planet, no one else comes close
Thank you...great stuff!

Do you have a separate video for Raley behind a boat?

How high is that cable? Does that help/?
