Toe Side Jump
Toe side jump
You need to know how to turn and edge properly on your
toes to be able to have smooth and high toe side jump .
I will explain how to do the toe side jump in 4 steps :
1- go out 15 feet away from the wake.
2- stop and bring the handle close to your front hip.
3- point the nose of the board to the wake, lock your back hand
with your body ( it will help loading the rope ) and push with
your toes .
4- keep edging till you reach the top of the wake, lift your chest
up when you jump and try to hold the handle with both hands
till you reach the landing spot ( you can let go the back hand )
it will help cause your body is twisted and it will try to untwist.
Try to cross the wake few times without jumping and try to
jump one wake to get the feeling, it will be hard at first but if
you keep trying you will get it.
“Have fun riding”
