I normally wakeboard at about 21-22. If I want to do surface tricks, I slow to about 17. I also recently pulled off my center fin, and have a whole new ride. Really fun for surface tricks. I can still cut and charge the wake. Just a bit looser, but if I am on a progressive edge, it sticks great. Practice surface 180's by doing a carve while inside the wake, then shift your weight to the other foot, and let it slide around. If you can get a copy of The Book (DVD), it has a pretty good section on doing this. Slow your speed down. Just keep playing with it. You will eventually get it.
