701 FW backflip

[AWolf34]

I know there's a ton of info about flipping on here, but I'm starting to get a little frustrated when it comes to my fw flip game. I'm getting pretty consistant with boat wakes, but when it comes to flatwater, my rotation speed just isn't there. I've got setup wakes dialed. Anyone on here fw flip with a 701 before? What's the trick to getting the rotation you need? It seems like I'm not doing a whole lot with my legs. Is that one of the main keys to getting it to come around? If so, at what point do you start pushing down? as your getting into your setup wake or just as your about to lift off?

Tyrant's thread a few down from this one is very helpful, did you watch the vid?

Also, Peter posted a good vid of 701 in action in this thread:

Yea, I've watched that video. Very informative. I also follow Peter on IG. Dudes an animal! I've studied the hell out of some videos and it seems everyone does them a little different. This guy just gives it hell and hangs on for the ride

This guy works HARD for it and stretches out

and Peter... That's just ridiculous. Was he sleeping in that video?

What hull are you riding? Just curious as to what hulls are capable of FW flips with a 701. I know it's mostly skill, but I also know I can't come close on a stock SJ.
