Four Keys To a Successful Wake Crossing

Jon Traver

In this water ski how to, Jon Travers shares his four keys to successful wake crossings.

1. The better job I do of keeping my eyes and head up, the easier it is for me to maintain a strong upper body.

2. Keeping my shoulders level and slightly open gives me the strongest position leveraged against the boat.

3. My arms are an extension of the rope. By relaxing my arms, I keep the rope as long as possible, and it allows me to maintain a strong edge.

4. A forward flex in my ankles helps my knees remain properly bent in preparation for a controlled edge change.

    in simple terms width beyond second wake is greatly determined by how strong you are at first wake, first wake is your main focus , all else is skiing 101
    the skiers body position in this picture does not allow for maximun energy tranfer to skiers edge. 2 legs have more power than 1 leg, the skier in the picture is not fully using both legs to advantage.
