Corner Raleys are THE WORST thing in wakeboarding. | Cable Wakeboarding Raley

Learning to raley is a difficult wakeboarding trick. We have seen many people try and learn with system 2.0 corner raleys. Here's why that's the wrong way to learn them!

I’ve put some decent thought into this myself, and I think a fairly fun way for kids to learn the basis of raleys is to try doing zingers off the dock… as long as it’s not busy and your cable park managers and operators don’t mind. Use that to teach them the extension and how to bring their feet back under themselves. And some people say to try learning raleys on a wakeskate so you don’t have too hard of a fall, but I’d take it a step further and put some system boots on your board. But don’t tighten down the straps, just use the bindings for good foot placement, as well as a little bit of extra support. Then when you flick, the board should fall away just like the wakeskate would, so you don’t catch a front edge. This way, you’re also getting to try it with the feel of your own board instead of a wakeskate that has completely different construction.

For sure! Those zingers were the best!! Maybe have to do one of those soon for a video 👀

Completely agreed. After tearing my LCL (on a raley, because of rope getting out of the carrier), I was a little bit afraid to do it again once back on the water. 2 Zingers was enough for me to get confident again. If you know how to edge, zingers are great for unlocking the trick. Or wakeskate raley, which are maybe even better cause they practice the cut and block too. But you will not be flying with a giant anchor locked on your feets, which is imho the real reason you get hurt if you miss airtricks. Barefoot it can shake you a little bit (more than a little bit to be fair), but not really hurt you...

Hi Ryan, we have successfully learned guests how to railey, with the corner as well, and without afterwards, its a great way to learn how to fly and learn the second half of the move, and also its still possible to learn the regular take off after being at ease with the corner railey :) our opinion

[@vikingkitesurf]

Excellent advice! Some instructors want to give beginners a cheap thrill, but this doesn't prepare them for future tricks, in fact it develops bad habits that are harder to unlearn than learning Raley's correctly the first time. Beginners should master flat water Ollies goofy/regular, 180 surface slides goofy/regular and Ollie to revert so they're prepared.

[@SeeWeeee]

Well, I'll be... I wa just thinking of starting training corner raileys on my 2.0. Guess I'll have to revisit that :) Thanks!

[@evansmith8541]

I was hoping this was gonna be about doing raleys on the whip😆

[@ThePeacockBrothers]

Hahahahaha those are always the best idea

[@MoeOuan666]

On the other hand raley (or other airtricks) on system 2 straights is a great way to learn for me: when you fail (and the first attempts you will fail) more upward pull and less speed means it hurts less. It still hurts but not like a full cable. Trying to to do a frontroll (or S-bend, or anything in between, i'm not picky ;-) at the moment, and I only have the ball to try on system 2. Given how it already hurt being stuck mid rotation but with enough height, I think it would be guaranteed injury if I try it on a full cable with my raley pull....Maybe I should try wakeskate frontroll

[@MrTito2705]

Fair to admit guy on the video tried to do railey from flat board, almost without any edge, in ''toilet'' position..😀 if begin learning raley on corner with proper edge, board loading etc, it will help in the beginning. to feel the technique. And then of course start to do it further and further.

[@MegaVince09]

Good coaching! It actually makes a lot of sense 😊well explained 🤩

[@ThePeacockBrothers]

Thanks!!!

[@ilantcr]

Finaly got it ! Hope doing that on the water !!

[@explosiv77]

This is 💯 true. Speed vs Tension key factors 👌

[@Kiteboardshaper]

100% agreed, thank you for doing this video

[@alibro11]

Totally get were you are coming from but I do feel they are a useful coaching tool as long as the coach is clear it’s a low impact way to learn the landing and not the takeoff.

[@eightfold3195]

Hoping to get raleys and corner raleys this season, hopefully thisll give me some pointers for them :)

[@ThePeacockBrothers]

You got it!! 🤘🏼

[@Ian_MacGregor]

Good catch 2:44 😂

[@Simon2million]

Little confused about what you mean when you say corner ? I’ve always seen people do raleys when coming round the corner of a full 4 or 5 point cable (box end / rother valley) but you keep mentioning system 2.0 in this video. Are you saying don’t try to learn them on a system 2.0 corner or on a full cable turn point as well ? If so where should we learn them as you say kicker but then don’t explain how on a kicker ?

[@ThePeacockBrothers]

The system 2.0 corner is what we are talking about here. Any raleys should be learnt on the straight (between towers 4 & 5) and avoid using the speed generated from whipping out on the corner. A raley should be learnt by coming round the corner, waiting a few seconds before beginning the edge out We will try and get a kicker raley tutorial filmed

[@skaterpassif5148]

Do you recommend me to use a short rope on a full size ?

[@ThePeacockBrothers]

To begin with yes, short line can definitely help you!

[@siti0377]

Im riding 4 years , can do 7 and fs 270 on rails… But Never tryed raleys. Do you think i just should try one on the big cable or what would you do? Its very scary to me But i do wanna learn in this year. Think you :) Grüße aus Deutschland

[@ThePeacockBrothers]

You can for sure start by trying raleys on the straights of a system 2.0 on a very short rope.If you have any doubt that you aren’t high enough, just let go don’t try and pull it down, just go into a dive! Once comfortable there you can progress to short line on full size!

[@siti0377]

@@ThePeacockBrothers thanks do you think it makes sense to trigger at low speed (25 km/h)?

[@ThePeacockBrothers]

We would not suggest going below 28 to be honest. With the speed running slower it actually makes it a little harder to build the correct tension! 28 should be slow enough especially with a short rope!
