My first attempt at a 3 - FAIL!

[bergermaister]

So I guess one small video turned out from the last trip's night surf. This was my first attempt at throwing a 360.

So what's the trick? Bury the tail, dig with one arm, then transfer weight back to the nose as you come around? Need more speed? More daylight and less beers?

I think the hat threw your balance all outta whack

How fast do you surf at?

we had a triple xxx rider on the boat one day that can spin one after the other. it was sick to watch..

advice he gave us was to get to the front part of the wake to give a lot of room for the recovery and use your right hand to dig into the top of the wake and use it as a guide as you go around, then just spin..

it was a lot easier to watch than try
good luck..

Ditto on the surf speed.. we go 9.8 mph on the ppass . nice and clean , like yours .
Jim. ( Still waiting for the broken ankle to heal so I can get back out .. Been 5 weeks , 2 1/2 to go. )

Good attempt. Keep trying. I was getting close but haven't been out in two weeks now. It's raining now too. Uggghhh!!

How fast do you surf at?

Speed will be dictated by the boat. In my OBV, the best speed for us was 9.5-10.0. In the Mojo, we run 10.5-11.5. The amout of ballast we fill, number of crew, conditons and tricks being worked on will impact the speed we run at. It's hardly ever the same every time.

FWIW - at the CWSA (Competitive WakeSurf Association http://www.thecwsa.org) sanctioned events, they run the competions at 10.7 mph on the Centurion Enzo SV244 boat.

Drew, at those comps, I was under the impression the rider could request the speed. Not true?
