height tolerance

(weekend_wakeboarder)

would you say that you have to build height tolerance on wake jumps? and speed on w2w to cover the distance?, i believe this question plagues many...

work on fundamentals. the height and distance will come if you apply proper fundamentals.

just feel it man. let it float. don't think too much. keep doing it and you'll get it.

Try to take it wake to wake, the cushioning of the 2nd wake takes away the shock of landing in the flats, and you have something fixed to spot your landing to.

acclimation comes with everything including soaring off 2'ups and drinking like I did in college

I had the same problem when I first started wakeboarding. Like everyone else has said, the more you do it the more you will get used to it. Eventually, it won't bother you at all.

A trampoline will help with the air aware-ness(if thats a word). I bought one for "my kids" for Xmas.....
