move your stance to the front of the board
push down on your front foot
push back with your rear foot
level the board
set it down

i would think to do it you would have to be going pretty fast so the nose wouldnt go under

Well you can nollie a wakeskate just like you can ollie a skateboard without actually touching the kicktail on the ground...but you get about 3 inches in the air....

Actually if you get like 3inches off the water its pretyt lame. They should do nollie tricks of tables and stuff.

but you can't really ollie/nollie of anything like that on a wakeskate. on a skateboard you have trucks so your board is off the ground and you can get your nose up. wakeskate = no trucks = kind of hard to ollie on things other than water.

ashaffer, I believe you. I've done it a couple times. It looks like a distorted ollie, but your pop does come from the nose.

For it to be a nollie the tail has to rise off the water before the nose. So it's really doubtful any of you are doing true nollies.

why must everything have to be exactly like skateboarding? why cant our nollies be a little different? i can do switch ollies standing on the back end of the board and i could also do what id say is more a switch nollie or fakie ollie i think its called in skateboarding, with my weight more on the nose of the board. id say there different things all together. go out and stand on more the nose or the tail of the board and i think youll see what im saying, weight distrubution has a huge difference in how the board pops out of the water so it deffenatley would be harder to do just a shovit standing on the nose of the board then standing on the tail. id say there different tricks almost then.

If it's different to skateboarding, don't f*cking rip off Skate names...

Call it a 'distorted nose ollie', or something, but not something it isn't.

im not ripping on skateboarding at all. all im saying is there is deffinatley a difference between standing more on the nose and more on the tail when you pop the board.
