Top Ten Wakeboarding Tricks
Have you mastered the basics of wakeboarding and are eager to tackle some advanced tricks? Here’s a list of the top ten wakeboarding tricks that will challenge your skills and impress your audience.
1. Crow Mobe
The Crow Mobe is a toeside front roll combined with a frontside 360. Despite being part of the "mobe" tricks family, it’s considered relatively easy. You can perform this trick even without catching much air, and initially, you can skip the mid-air handle pass. Before attempting, ensure you’re comfortable with rotating scarecrows and executing toeside 360s both with and without passing the handle.
2. Mobius
The Mobius is a heelside backroll paired with a frontside 360. As the pioneer mobe trick in wakeboarding, it remains a rare and respected maneuver due to its complexity. To prepare, you should master roll-to-reverts with height and precision, and be adept at passing the handle during heelside 360s.
3. Tantrum to Blind
A challenging trick that combines a tantrum with an indy grab and a backside 180, the Tantrum to Blind requires both skill and finesse. Achieving consistency with this trick is tough, but its visual appeal is rewarding. Prior skills should include a solid wake-to-wake tantrum and proficiency in backside 180s, landing wrapped.
4. Elephant
The Elephant is a scarecrow variant with a rewind 180 performed from backward to forward. Instead of landing switch, you'll pull the board back before landing. Perfecting this trick demands strong edging on toesides, executing big wake jumps, and performing large scarecrows.
5. Front Flip
An end-over-end cartwheel-style flip, the Front Flip is an advanced classic that allows for personal style through various grabs. Before trying this, practice large heelside wake jumps, ground or trampoline cartwheels, and become comfortable with upside-down motions at speed.
6. Half-Cab Roll
This switch roll to revert may be one of the easier inverts, but landing switch raises the difficulty. Adding style through melan, mute, or nose grabs enhances the trick. Ensure you can perform a back roll, heelside 180, and large wake jumps.
7. Heelside Backroll
Resembling a reverse cartwheel, the heelside backroll is one of the simplest inverts, often the first learned by wakeboarders. Once you master this trick with strong edges and large wake jumps, you can progress to more complex maneuvers.
8. Scarecrow
The Scarecrow involves a front roll with a frontside 180, versatile in size. Mastering the toeside approach and pop off the wake is critical. Before trying, practice hard toeside edging and master the toeside 180.
9. Tantrum
A heelside backflip, the Tantrum is a foundational wakeboarding trick akin to a trampoline backflip. You can modify it with various grabs for style and build up to more complex tricks like the Whirlybird. Solid edge control and confidence with aggressive heelside cuts are prerequisites.
10. Whirlybird
Combining a Tantrum with a backside 360 and an overhead handle rotation, the Whirlybird is one of wakeboarding’s most visually stunning tricks. Perfect your Tantrum skills before attempting this advanced maneuver.
