I just now started wake skating........... and i havn't really learned any tricks Sad

I 've had some problems with my ollie. I can't seem to get more than about a couple of inches out of the water. I can ollie fine of a wakeboard, but i'm not getting any power

I'm wanting to work on some shovies but I can't get enough time in the air.

another...
Whenever i try body varials I seem to either hit them or just fly off the board when i try to land.. anyone have any ideas?

prepop you ollies for more height and just keep practicing them.
you dont have to be able to ollie really high to do shuvs, so start tryin some.
on your body varials, push off the board with your front foot.

Good Luck and keep practicing!

Push down harder on the tail. And for BV's jump off your front foot.

Just ride as much as you can and you will start landing stuff, and then comes consistency which = progression.

pre popping kills the steeze

progression, style, and consistency will all come with time
