I was out on Folsom lake yesterday and I finally landed a tantrum! I have been working on it for 3 or 4 days now, but only started using the "trip-flip" edge for the last 2 days. Once I got the edge down it was super easy. I am so stoked!

great stuff! mind if i ask what is "trip-flip"?

trip flip is the type of cut used for a tantrum. Tantrums don't use a progressive edge, as you ride up the wake you have to change your edge so that instead of launching off the wake, you kinda get tripped backwards and do a tantrum.
