Tips and Tricks: Riding the Wave

Great adjustments with your skiing in the wave tank last weekend. This tool lets us see things that will make your skiing easier and more fun. When you watch this video pay close attention to the guy in the yellow pants. He is Mikael Kingsbury, the most successful mogul skier of all time. Watch for these key points in his position in the wave tank:
1- knees pulling up to absorb the wave
2- feet pulling backward (when his knees are up) to have the tip of the ski contact the downhill part of the wave
3- feet staying under his body at all times

When you work in the wave tank this weekend, do your best to imitate the positions you see Mikael Kingsbury use (remember, he’s the guy in the yellow pants).
