I had a rn sj that I shortened to -5 and flipped it off a boat wake on our local lake. Nosed it in, but rode it out. Landing up side down is no biggie at all. Sometimes I purposely flop mine when coming into shore, just because it's fun. I'm at high elevation and a smaller engine, so I have come up short countless times and it's no biggie.

FF to 13:18, turn it up a little, watch and listen. Basically what everyone else is saying too, but kinda funny.

The feeling when you are out cruising around thinking you are gonna flip is nothing compared to that adrenaline rush when you finally commit and are going up the face of the wave pulling back as hard as you can! We drove from Atlanta to hugenot with the mentality of, the first big wave I see im gonna flip. And after we launched the skis, the first big wave I saw I did it, I knew if I didn't, it would bug me and ruin my weekend. And surprisingly I nosed in my first one. I tried some other on smaller waves, but even though the bigger waves are more intimidating, they are easier. Pull back and look back, when you are flipping it feels like slo-mo, as you are looking back you see the sky, then upside down water, and then the nose of your ski, then you are thinking I just did a backflip, then you hit the water!

Let me help convince you... The satisfaction you will get from being able to convince your mind to risk life and limb to achieve a goal is awesome.. every fiber in your body will say no but once you concur your fears and face the wave its awesome. You will go home with your head held high knowing you can do something most are to scared to even attempt, its the best feeling. if thats not enough remember chics think its cool too. Be safe, wear your safety gear make sure your footholds are tight. Good luck we will be looking to see it at daytona.

That excuse sucks. I could understand if you were single and had to flaunt some tail feathers, but you're married. she should cheer if you pancake it or bail as soon as you clear the wave. I won't go into details but I suck epic hardcore, i fudge up 180s like every try, but damn it do I feel like a badass by bedtime.
