I would appreciate a tutorial on 360s (different variations with skim and surf) as well as shuvs. I've landed both, but super inconsistent. Shuvs, I always get the board to do the 180, not even bad foot placement, but still manage to just fall and not cushion the landing. Those two tutorials would be epic! Thanks Keen, you're the goat!

just wakesurfed for the first time yesterday! it took 3 tries to get up but after that it felt super easy. i was lucky to have one of my friends helping me out with instruction and one of my friends in charge of the boat
Great vid. Anyone who owns a surf boat has been here many times before. Especially the "take control of the boat" part 👍

AK help me with my 3’s! I ride skim with a fin and over rotate every time. So much so I’m closer to landing 7’s then the 360’s. Been struggling with them and shuv’s for years.

Common problem for sure! I’ll make a video on this very soon!
Can you do a vid on wake foiling, particularly the start?
Can we get a how to for the boat driver, what speed, fast start, slow start?
Austin - awesome video. Do you ever think it helps to attach the tower rope on one side of the tower of the other for a beginner? Or just leave it in the center of the tower?

It can definitely help pull people away from the prop wash, but the downside is it’s a little lower so will be slightly more difficult for the person to get up out of the water
What’s up 🐐, just got a new Malibu MXZ 23, what board do you recommend and what size?
What's the best wake surf / weight setup on an xstar? Trying to dial in a 2019
Yo his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy- good instructional vid!!
What fin setup is ideal for someone starting out?
So - I’m 6’ 185# and I have a slight physical disability. Inflexible at the hips. Getting into position almost impossible because I can’t stabilize the board to get my heels up. Is there a way to start from sitting or kneeling on the board?

What is the pull speed?
My girlfriend has a hard time holding onto the rope getting up because of strength any tips?
How fast should the acceleration of the boat be from idle to full speed? Is faster better, or gradual??
@AustinKeen

Better to be gradual but enough momentum to continually pull the person up so they’re not falling back

Depends on boat size and how long you want the wave. I would say 10.5-10.8 is a good speed for beginners
…does it really matter how big the surf is to surf behind boat?
