I somewhat disagree with your tip, rootc. Yeah, I don't think they should stop. But at a certain point, one SHOULD stop. If you're trying to learn a specific trick, try it at least 2-3 times per run. If you're close, try it more than 2-3 times. But do NOT waste your entire run on one trick. You'll beat yourself up physically and mentally. Don't let one trick keep you from having fun. Another tip is don't go at it blindly, meaning know the mechanics of the trick. For example, on a tantrum, you want to come in with a lot of speed, then at the last second, you want to flatten out and let the wake throw you. There's a more detailed description and instruction in this forum that I posted. The key is knowing what you have to do to pull it off. For each attempt, ask the boat what you did wrong if they know. If you know what you did wrong, correct it the next time you try. Good luck.
