WB1 Side Mount Help.

[monoshock]

I'm tired of climbing on the back, someone explain in detail how to side mount a WB1.
I'm 200lbs 5'8",maybe I'm to heavy and to short to do it.
Also I found the vid, but I can tell what's going on in the first part.

full throttle

steer hard right

is it possible with a stock blaster? I've done it but boy is it a workout, and I feel like a fool being dragged so far.

when I learned I was about 240 lbs. i'm about 6' though

get next to the left side of the ski and keep your body vertical in the water
lean it over, start it, and hold the steering to the right
give it some gas and start leaning it back up straight (keep the steering to the right)
when the pump starts to hook up give it some gas. as it starts to take off put your right knee or foot on the rear deck.
pull your self up and straighten out the bars.


if you can't get the pump to stay hooked up you aren't staying vertical in the water long enough.

How do you get the pump to hook up?

It was definatly harder to do on a stock ski with just a riva red pipe.

just watched the vid. that guy doesn't side mount like me.

 

[sflsurfrider]

the video looks like how i do it, but ive never seen myself sidemounting from that perspective.

 

[WaveDemon]

it looks like he's sinking the rear of the ski with his leg. I'm not sure.

plus on the flatwater mounting from the rear is easy.......in the surf is where it counts.....keep your body up as close to side without tipping the boat......than gas it to get up
