Once you can stand up comfortably and do turns everything else will come very fast. It took me about 4 full days to get where I could stay up on it and turn/carve at moderate speeds. By the 5th day I was jumping wakes and doing all sorts of simple tricks. Practice makes perfect.

When you jump out of the water push on the pole forward, still lifting your legs and you'd be surprised on how easy it is to sub. You have to get past the scared part of going under the water, then you'll be fine. Keep it up!

I got close a couple times, I guess you could call it a smalll sub, but most of the time I would push on the pole and lift I would get it almost there, or land flat. I have trouble when I push sometimes the pole moves up on me. I"ll get it though!!!

Cant sell the couches! GF/fam ride them while I ride the SJ.

mods are coming though! I want foot holds and bars! A little scared to install the foot holds want them to be water tight and strong!
