you're a little nose high, lean a little more over the hood.

May just be a mental thing for me but I always hit boat wakes off the starboard side. Don't ask me why but while learning rolls it just felt easier to do with the way the way was coming at me. I don't know if you have a preference or it's just that in these videos it was only port side. Other than that you are looking really good and very impressive for a stock motor, keep tucked and lean over the nose a little more.

sweet man, if you get your weight more forward it would help alot think about leaning as forward as you can to the point where you feel you will almost fall on the hood. A shorter handlepole helps greatly for this it gives you much more leverage when your body is forward.

good luck it looks good tho

Those are very impressive. Keep rockin the SXR! Get rid of that handpole, get the RRP. I have went from stock length to minus 5 1/2" so far and I may go farther.

Thanks for the tips!

I am afraid I am learning bad habits not having much power. I seem to be trying to get height and when I release off the wave my pole and ski seperate.

Do I need to be tucked prior to leaving the face of the wave?

Does anyone think I was going too slow?

Thanks Peeps :bananalama:
