Define "aggressively". Like, turns too sharp at the end of the turn, kills your speed and breaks you at the wake? The terms used for what happens when you adjust your fin are so subjective. What does "more tip" mean for example? I think it would serve skiers better if the terms used were remedies for current issues the skier is having - can't get the ski to turn, can't get the ski to cast out, ski buckles me over at the waist on the backside of the turn, etc. Need more fin if this, less fin if that. Longer fin to correct this shorter fin to correct that.
Once I learned that the wing is more for a brake than just overall stability, I tried an opposite position where the wing pushes the ski up instead of pull the ski down. It turned the ski into a friggin' rocket!! I have never had so much speed over the wake but sure enough, I end up ahead of the boat Any more speed and I will be in front of the boat and get run over! Now I would rather keep this speed but somehow get more smear around the balls to slow down.
Hi I'm Frank from the Netherlands. I hadn't skied for a number of years, after an injury and I hesitated to start again on one of my fast slalom skis. Then I bought the HO Hovercraft, it's a great ski, I got out of the water very easily and the stability at lower speeds is great. Is also a nice ski to find your balance again at the start of the ski season.
Hey there. Probably it is an easy and studip question for you but I am having trouble placing my hyperlite binding on my liquid force with flextrail and I hope you can help me to figure out what I need. 😊 I have the m6 with the upper plate but I have no counter part to fixate it on the board so what kind do I need and will fit so my hyperlite binding will be fixated on the board!? I hope you guys can help me with what I need 😅
Hey, I want to Start in that Hobby. But i Dont knoe which Board and stuff i have to buy. My weight is 55kg. I want stuff around 1000€ or cheaper. Is there anything?
hello sir, I am a beginner in skim boarding but I want to ask about something, how can a skim board have fins and in the same time I will throw it in the sand to get the speed and then surf with it ?
Why is it on the rise? I can tell you. With all the wakesurfing 15,000 pound boats out there, the lakes are choppy as hell. Skiing is gone, kneeboarding is a 7 am event. Wakesurfing will still be around but now if someone like me (kneeboarder) wants to do something mid-day, this is it. It's why I'm watching this today.
Hey, Ben-thanks for asking. I'm right at 190lbs, and ride the Infinity 76cm for wake and kite. Take a look at the Slingshot Infinity 99cm for a pumping wing. They're very stable and create tons of lift. Got more questions? Please email us at Info@WakeHouse.com for a faster response. Aaron Johnson Marketing
he was ready to explain tip of fin to tail and what changing it does to ski ride and other fin adjustments but then just got interrupted so badly by this guy who looks like he couldn’t care less about skiing
Hi Elixerin, Thank you for commenting. For better customer service, please email our team-we're always happy to help! 🔥 Email: Info@WakeHouse.com Thank you! The WakeHouse Crew
I've got a older lithium that was their course ski back in the day. I think I should just get some ski for choppy crap water but I don't know what ski that is.
Hi, Reagan-thanks for asking. 🤙🏽 No, the Ronix Parks Boot does NOT have a walkable liner. However, the Ronix Kinetik Project DOES: www.wakehouse.com/products/ronix-kinetik-project-exp-wakeboard-boots-2021.html 😃 Please reply back with any questions. We’re always happy to help.
Great question, Kenny. 🤙🏽 While an experienced rider can, with the right foil wing, do dock-starts and pump their foil on flat water, you will certainly want to start behind a boat or PWC when first learning. When getting started behind the boat, start with a full-length wake or ski rope and shoot for a boat speed of around 8-10 mph. Does this help? Please reply back with more questions. We're always here to help! The WakeHouse Crew
Let's back up a couple of steps. What is your main goal with foiling, and where do you intend to ride it? Flat-water on inland lakes? Do you have any previous experience with wind sports? Check out these videos from our friends over at MACkiteboarding.com and make sure that wing foiling is something you want to get into: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_wJTDJVU5jc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-baFYqBCDlIw.html
I was stressing out because all the hardware kits show the head sunk washer as connected to the thread and I bought an old 2012 board so thought it wouldnt work but thankfull it was indeed just a washer that comes off haha, cheers lads
Hey thanks for the great review! just purchased a 2019 Connelly Standard board (143) and was wondering if I am going to have the issue you mentioned with mounting these bindings to the board?? any help would be great
Hey-g’mornin, David! 🤙🏽 Thank you for asking, and thank you for your business. May we connect with you via email or phone to help answer your question? Aaron Johnson | Marketing
Hey, Boo-thanks for your concern! 🤙🏽 Right in the beginning, Will mentions that this vest is "U.S. Coast Guard Approved". That is a base-line standard for floatation vests, so you can rest assured. 😊 Are you looking for a new vest? Please reply back with any questions. We're always here to help.
Hi Nikola, Thank you for asking. 🤙🏽 The Ronix Kinetik Project boots are very well made. How long they will last is dependent on how often you ride. The average wakeboarder should be able to make these boots last for at least 2 seasons. No worries. Please call (616) 797-2110 with any questions. We're always here to help you, my friend. The WakeHouse Team
Hi, Alberto-thank you for asking! 🤙🏽 The 2019 Ronix Supreme Boots are pretty supportive. On a scale of 1 to 10, they're about a 7. They're flexible enough to tweak your grabs and supportive enough to handle those big landings. What size are you looking for? Aaron
I just got a foil, haven't even got it in the water yet. I'm living back in the town I grew up. no mountains here and I generally snowboard, mountain bike or downhill longboard/skate. One thing I do have in my new (old) backyard is lake Ontario. My hope is to be able to , eventually, prone surf on a big windy day and be able to link the choppy waves we get for a few kilometers. I have some skills in sailing and my edge control and balance are pretty dialed in. Plus I have a ski boat that I wake skate behind. Going to practice by cutting out, dropping the rope and pumping around... Thanks for reaching out!
@@Doom_Head621 John Right on! 🤙🏽 Snowboarding, longboarding, surfing, and kiteboarding are all that keep me sane as well. Prone surfing and foil surfing is very doable here on our Great Lakes swells. A few of my friends learned to foil with kites, then on to prone foil surfing from there. There are many foil surf specific boards on the market. However, you can always start with an existing surfboard and attach your foil to it with this kit from "Foilmount" (link below). I put one of these mounts on an old surfboard and cannot believe how strong it is. No joke. foilmount.com/ You'll find a great benefit to learning behind your ski boat for sure. Remember to start at slow speeds (10 mph/16 kph) and on a full-length ski rope. Foils are efficient and don't need much speed to generate lift. The long ski rope will keep you away from the prop wash of your boat and back in the "clean" water. I'll leave you with this awesome video of Keahi de Aboitiz! 🤙🏽 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i9yCe6ibhzU.html Cheers, my friend! Aaron
Hi, Jake-thanks for asking! 🤙🏽 While you may use your vest however you see fit, we must recommend that you only use your vest for its intended purpose of floatation.
Thanks for asking, Curtis! Still waiting on the 2020 to drop. Would you like us to follow up with you when they're in stock? Hit me with an email address. Aaron Johnson | Marketing Team

Hey, Laura-thank you for asking. Ronix recently came out with a NEW boot, called the "Supreme Boots EXP Intuition+". Ronix Link: www.ronixwake.com/products/supreme-boots-exp-intuition I'll check and see if we have those in stock and follow up with you ASAP! Aaron Johnson | Marketing
Hey, TC P-thank you for your input! Looks like we missed the camera angle that you needed. Please give us a quick call and we’ll do our best to help you, my friend.
Graydos-thank you for commenting about your experiences with the Hyperlite Defacto Boots. Such a bummer that you had a bad time with them, my friend. I’m guessing that you were able to warranty the boots each time they tore? This is the first that we’ve heard about any problems with the Defacto Boots, but we’ll be sure to let our Hyperlite rep know about your situation for their Research and Development’s sake.
Personally I think these boots are terrible, I've broken 3 pairs, all tearing in the same spot and annoyingly all broke within the first day riding them. After any BIG stack the boots always have torn around the flimsy part just around the ankle. First pair, I had done up tight and when I had a big crash my feet didn't come out, but rode about half way up the boot. Ok, so when i got my second pair I had the the boots loose so If i had a big enough stack, my feet would slide out with ease. Sure enough, feet came out easily, this time only the right boot tore, it still tore in the same spot. third pair i had it not even tightened at all, just put my feet in, didn't do anything up, sure enough when i had a major stack, tore in the same spot. Safe to say i'm not getting these again. I was riding the ronix one boots and i loved them, never had any issues. I just lent them to my mate for the season, because i wanted to try new boots out. Also for anyone wondering, I ride a 2019 142 Ronix one Timebomb board.
