Default big wake to small wake

alright im talking to all of you who can do 360s and back/front rolls... im assuming you all have nice ass boats that throw sick wakes or do these tricks on boats with sick wakes.. now if you go to a boat with a smaller wake can you still throw the same tricks? or not?

im wondering because i have a non 'wakeboarding' boat and i put a tower on it cause it has a nice wake but its not like some of these other boats out there. but anyways if i work my ass off and can do a back roll on a boat with a smaller wake is will it be easy to do on a boat with a bigger wake? where i can get more air? or will it be the same?

thanks

Frank

Some of the tricks I can do on a big wake I can do on a small wake. b/roll, scarecrow, tantrum, 360's

I can't do a front roll on a small wake but I have seen a guy do a front roll on a tiny wake, really stylee one aswell, looks like an elephant

Spins can be done on any size wake. I did find it easier learning stuff on a bigger wake, but i learnt my backroll on a ski boat with no weight in it and a fly high tower. I remember reading about Ed Williams who learnt his scarecrow behind a ski boat with outboard

If you learn them on a smaller wake you will be able to transfer them easily enough to a bigger wake, you'll just slow them down.

On a small wake I would recommend learning your spins first
