Is "the wedge" girlfriend approved?

Thinking of finding another js for my girlfriend and getting the wedge floats for it, she's never ridden a standup and weighs under 120lbs, pretty coordinated however. Question is how much more stable is it for someone her size?

will make more stable than an sxr.go for it.

She wont need it. It will be a little awkward at first but after an hour or so she will be comfortable. If she has a hard time ha e her ride on her knees at first.

Don't know why, but this is true.

Good point, it's definitely true, we'll see how it goes come spring, I may just buy the wedge to have when my goon friends want to ride, tired of waterlogged skis.

It's the same as wakeboarding and waterskiing. Guys tug the rope because they think they can muscle themselves out of the water. Girls relax and let the boat do the work.

Stand ups are the same. Girls just finesse it. Guys try to muscle the pole and put the gravity up high. May be useful when you progress to tricks, but beginner riding is all legs and core, and women have plenty of both. Men like to flaunt their pecks at the ski, but it's best to leave the upper body at home.

I have a 550, let my girlfriend ride it and she got it first try. Turning to the left took her a few times. at least not as long as Zoolander.
