guess what guys I just landed my first grab. It was indy and it was only a one wake jump but I've only been out on the water three other times. What kind of progress am I making and is this good compared to the amount of time out on the water.

try doing a "roast beef". Back hand between lags grab HS edge between feet... it'll feel weird, but after a while you'll start to like it. One of my fav. grabs. How long have you been boarding. I landed my first grab at around year 1 1/2 because the board was too heavy. Try going to a lighter and/or shorter board, you'll be able to get some more air and get accross both wakes and you can get a PURE grab... also cut a little sharper and keep on edge until you get the air. Oh... one more thing. DONT CRASH! Lake Water Enema... not good.

james is right. hadcity is wrong. stalefish is rear hand ,behind legs. roast beef is rear hand between legs.

I think how progressive you are all depends on your age and expirience with other boarding sports.
