TURN SUB: a cool-looking, super easy trick to do. Start out at quarter throttle or less (5-10 mph), put your right foot in the front left corner of the tray up against the dash and put your left foot in the water beside the boat like you're doing a leg drag. Lean forward and crank the bars left and drop the hammer. you'll corkscrew straight down and if you keep it pegged, you can go deeper than a regular sub by far. The neat thing is that on the way down, your pump will do a sweet fountain and any onlookers who are unfamiliar with standups will be held in worshipful awe and reverence of your "skill." especially easy on the nose-heavy SXR. So if us lowly Kawi riders can manage it, I'm sure it will be a snap for all you high-and-mighty SJ riders

Once you begin the turn downwards, where should your weight be? I keep knocking myself off the ski in one way or another. And is the leg in the water necessary? My biggest issue is not getting back into the throttle and having my weight too far back. I'm getting the turn and beginning of the sub, but lose it shortly after if the nose keeps going down (natural response is to let off the throttle to come back up(I guess I need to trust that the ski is not going to take on that much water that fast)).

You need air. Don't plug the holes. Welcome to the X but posts in the right section will get more responses. Try the areas dedicated to each type of ski.

Its easier with a full tank. Years ago I could do them on my first 650sx, then I lost 25lbs and couldnt get the nose to go under.

Its all about the transfer of weight to the front, letting off the throttle, turning and gas. I only weigh in at 145 and I can do it with my fx1 and stock SJ. Keep practicing you will get it.

I try them once in a while with 2 usual results. 1) ski slides out from under me rather quickly and 2) I back off the throttle when I feel like the nose isn't diving. I have to remember to keep committed to it.

My other problem is rolling over on the inside of the turn. I suck at this jet ski thing. :)
