The easiest two things to do are:
1) add more ballast (weight) to your boat which will make the wake bigger. Be sure your engine can handle the additional load. Not sure what you have but 1000 lbs is a good start and upwards of 2500 lbs is being seen by some of the big V8 engine driven boats and the wakes are insane. 2) Make sure you launch into your trick with the rope as tight as you can get it (leaning away from the boat slightly depending on the trick) and ride up the wake vs jumping or pushing off of it. Let momentum take you up high vs your own vertical jumping ability. Good luck and be careful coming down from up there, you could blow a knee out or worse. Ride hard & safe. -CD |
