Default Advice

Alright Guys, im fairly new to the sport, i leant to wakeboard in the maldives in November behind a boat! was immense! came home got myself all the gear to carry on, ive been to the cable at thorpes nearly every week since ive been back, i need advice on tricks to start out with, landed my 1st ollie 180(if thats what its called) yesterday! Just wondering if there was a trick list and the fundermentals to go with it anywhere on this big wide web. Cant seem to find anything. Also i'm looking for some new fins for my board, i have an o'brien diesel 141, what would you suggest for the cable?

Cheers

Have you tried riding without the centre fins? The diesel has two moulded side fins so you might find you like it without the centre fins.

I have an Absence 141 2003 and a Player 143, The Absence is a very similar design to the diesel, apart from having no centre fin, it's a great board to ride at Sheffield cable. It did catch me out a few times when i first got up on it, but that was due to my inexperience.
