Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

My wife and I had a great season on our 14 A20. My wife wife learned to wakeboard for the first time this summer and can surf no problem without the rope. She carves it up really well on both boards behind the boat. I learned wake to wake jumps both heal side and toe side along with some grabs and surface tricks this summer. Unfortunately it's time to put the boat away and am already itching to progress again next year. The A20 has been nothing but reliable and a great boat for us.

I never see any pics of A20 wakeboard wakes so let's see them if you have some. I ride at 21.5 mph with hard tanks, front arrow bag full, rear 750s about 3/4 full, and wedge down. Thought I had better pics of wake but it is very clean and rampy, a lot of fun to ride. Enjoy the rest of your season if you are still riding!

What length? You look like you are either 60' or 65'.

The better, more comfortable you get, speed it up to 22.5 - 23 and ride at 70'. You will enjoy the increased pop but you maybe need more line tension.

Also, you have a ton more pop out of that wake. You need to straighten your legs more coming up the wake.

Long rope length is overrated. Ride short and keep doing what you do and work on technique. Too many people riding longer than what they need and faster than what they need. Seems like you have a good head on your shoulders as far as working on TS and HS evenly. That's a foundation to progress instead of 95% of the heelside heroes out there. Progress to your HS w2w180's then TS 180's. If you're already both HS and TS w2w then you'll get HS w2w 180 in 1-2 days then take it TS. You can ways practice inside to outside wake tricks to keep it mellow and work on technique, especially handle passes.

Your progressive edge looks fine, just make sure you stand tall at the wake and don't bend over to make the grab. Bring the board up to you with your legs...head up looking FORWARD, not down.

I think you can turn this into a wakeworld arguement.

I was riding 65ft that day working on clearing toe side. Thanks for the advice. I can definitely feel the difference when I concentrate on popping then grabbing rather than going for the grab too early. I can do surface 180s so hoping to get that early next year wake to wake. Season is too short here.

Also, another tip that I seem to forget sometimes when I ride. Judging by the trail that your board left in the water, you should wait a little longer on the outside of the wake to load the line for a more consistent jump. It appears you just hopped the wake and pulled out real quick then charged back into the wake. That is just my opinion based on how your trail from your board appears.

Start your 180's by going inside wake to outside wake then take it w2w. At first when you try w2w 180's you might find yourself spinning early at the top of the wake trying to anticipate. Concentrate on the pop like a normal jump then do the 180 at the top coming down. I like to do a grab first then the 180 at the last second.
