How to get “big air” in a cable wakeboard park
I always wondered how do the wakeboarders jump so high in the air when the fact is there are no wakes in a cable park (think CWC) as opposed to being pulled by a boat.
Unlike the boat, where you ride up the wake to get air, on the cable you lean back to set your edge and load the line to build up tension, then snap the board behind you to launch yourself into the air. Do it right and you’re launched like a sling shot! Once in the air, the entire menu of tricks is at your disposal.
