THE OLLIE

The ollie is a fun maneuver to perform on unobstructed water or over an obstruction. Approach the object outside the wake with a flat board (Photo 1). Lean back on the tail ( Photo 2) to get a snap that lifts the rider up (Photo 3).

Suck up the legs while in the flatter part of the trajectory to clear the obstacle. Prepare for landing by extending the legs (Photo 5) and absorb the landing with flexion (Photo 6).
