I really need some advice on doing a backflip of a boatwave, all I can get is 3/4. When do you kick out your feet?? I dont really know when to do that. And it isnt the ski and also not the waves, because the cruisers here really make big enough waves. I need to know when to hit the trim, throttle and kick out my feet. Thanks for your help.

..... and something else I need to know... what do you guys over here use to glue your turf?? Somethin I can find at lowe's or home depot. Thanks.

see ya'll at lanier

Never flipped off a boat wake...but I bet your buddy Sickerling could give you some advice there.

As far as turf glue get DAP weld wood contact cement...or give HT a call and have em ship it to you. (714) 635-6350 ask for the x discount!

PS...how is the US treating you?

Before you hit the wake juice the throttle a tad to make the nose pop up a little then let it fall back down right before the wake (pull in trim now)then FULL THROTTLE. Tip head back and look back and pull real hard. Here is a good almost video. Off a jetboat and pontoon >my excuse :wink:

depends on what kind of trim you get, but yeaaah!!! They help a lot. I cant image somebody doing it without. you dont need one in the surf though.

I have some slow motion bf's, I ll post this evening, when I m at home. They help...

I ve got a magnum setback pump with gpr trim and nozzle. It works good, but I had the stock nozzle modified, before that, and that should work fine for the ocean. the pic shows how the low budget trim works.
