Backside Jump

Begin with a progressive edge, with slightly more weight on your back foot. As you edge up the wake, push down with your rear foot while you lift up on your front foot. Pull both knees up to your chest, allowing the board to elevate while pulling the handle to the middle of your hips. Stay directly over the board by keeping the handle at your hips and your eyes on the horizon. Bend your knees as the board lands and ride toward the shore.





Adding grabs and rotation to your jumps are the next best thing. Remember to bring the board to you – this will keep you in a good body position for the landing.
