Battery flying out of tray

[Strizzo]

I have the advantage of either boat wake or ocean/inlet waves to jump. Couple the latter with a storm or small craft advisory and your fixing to have a great time!

Yep. Skip the first one. Biggest thing is to keep your head in the game, especially if others are doing it. Everyone goes from the same side, then switch. I have seen way too many close calls from Jack holes attacking both sides of the wake.

no joke, nothing ruins a day of riding like dropping a 600lb or more ski on someones head.

i'm getting used to riding on bigger lakes now, conroe is huge and lake houston even though its only 20-30ft deep has a long N-S fetch and gets some big chop on breezy days. last time i was out there trying to get back to the ramp i was having to double over the troughs to make any amount of speed.

to avoid jumping the first wave into the second, also lets you jump little bass boat wakes easier. i grew up riding on a small lake with a max 25' rule. you can come in normal to the wave but you have to be going slower over the first wave.

in the attached pic, you can see there is a gap behind the first wave where you can come in at an angle at higher speed and miss the first wave to jump lower and longer off the second, if you want a shorter distance higher jump you'd come in slower and closer to normal to the boat's direction and try to get a run down the back of the first wave for more pop off the second.

yes, 100% , it took me about 9 face's full of water at 25mph to figure that out,, nobody ever told me !!!! I was kind enough to share that info with my daughter after her first face full.

and actually that's when I really appreciated the factory pipe and ECWI, for that extra bit of oomph when coming in off the first wake and getting a good launch off #2. Made a difference !

I kind of miss that quick throttle response more than anything, my GPR isn't quite as nimble as the XP, and my Honda has that 1/2 second turbo lag that can take's a little bit of time to adjust to. But with the XP it was basically just lay off for a second and roll over the first wave then PEG IT !
