I think flipping on a single wake board wake is a tall order. Much better chance if you have 2 boats creating a big V wake.

We were making setup wakes with my XL800 like you would on a standup and it's silly how big they get with the trim up and someone on the back. If we get them right they actually break like a wave. It is crazy how much height we were getting. The first one I hit I ghost rode my ski because I wasn't ready for the amount of pop it had. If you get a real boat doing this it won't take much.

to the guys doing flips: are your footholds clamping your feet in? my holds dont really hold my feet in super tight...
Like when kick your feet in.... is it real tight? do you have to pull them back out with any force? or does it just come right out? my feet touch the top of my holds but its not a tight squeeze... so I'm a little loose maybe?

If i had a backflip ski i would def try to to backflip and see what happens. I cant see it being more than just gasing it and fully commiting to pulling back

I had to pack out my 24-7 universals on the top with underpadding to get them tight. You can't just turf them and get a good lock.

not that i flip alot or have in a while but I prefer tight footholds. coming out while upsidedown is not that fun.

I have the same issue with my holds.. I cant sink my feet in super deep like I would like to feel that secure lock in. If I kick in real hard, It clamps on the front parts of my feet, but I'd prefer more lock on the top of my foot.

Mine aren't all that tight either.....I think if the form is right it's not a problem. Only time mine come out is when I get stupid and forget the "NEVER BAIL" rule of backflips.
I need real waves to do them though. I tried the 2 wakeboard boat thing with my old ski and old motor and got fairly close. I'm guessing I might be able to pull them off. Hopefully I will find out soon!
