THE WAKEBOARD WAKE JUMP

The basic wake jump is what wake boarding is all about. First cut hard to the outside of the wake. This sets you up for a fast wake crossing. Then cut hard for the wake. As you crest the wake, ease off a little on the rope to prevent being pulled forward (Photo 1).

As you launch from the wake, stay over the board (Photos 2 and 3). While in the air, flex the legs (pull in your legs) to add a little style to the jump (Photo 4). As you start to drop for the landing (Photo 5), extend your legs to absorb the landing (Photo 6). Absorb the landing with the legs bent and the weight over the board.
