speed only pushes you into the wave on small waves. Speed is what allows you to do really big backflips and assuming there is a nice SOLID wave you could hit it as fast as you want and probably backflip just about anything.
I would have to be one hell of a solid wave. Like 10+ feet with a lot of power. Every couch I've ever seen at the beach break has plowed through just about every wave. They get so excited when the pump leaves the water as the ski comes through the back side of the wave. That new XP is a pig. I think that on most waves you'd push through the top 1/4 of the wave, which is exactly what you wouldn't want to do for rotation.
