Just learned from the video that my stance is apparently too wide. And that i need to point my toes in the same direction...

Ya, those wakes are mini and the stances are so narrow! I bet it was a great time to be a wakeboarder though.

but they were still pulling some decent tricks. I bet they weren't worried about how much "pop" a board has.

Those guys riding never have and never will worry about how much "pop" a board has. Darrin Shapiro speed ball, Shaun Murray stupid huge blind judge never had anything to do with the board.

"bring the tip up to lose speed fast"
there is a big change there.
wakeboarders needed brakes back then?
i bet longer rope lengths and bigger rockers helped with this problem of getting too much slack from jumping too far with too much momentum

I was so stoked with that board after having a flight 69 which wasn't a true twin.
It was exciting times and full of stoke back then. "us" vs the skiers...........

Stretch ropes helped the slingshot effect into the flats too
