How To Ollie - Wakeboarding

[@zolkagro8364]

"It's actually that easy." This sentence was the breaking point for me. I went out yesterday, didn't overthink it just did the thing, so now I can consistently do the blind 180. Thanks David! Your earlier vid about "looking at the shore" is also great help.

[@sharonweaver5792]

Always stoked to see a new video! I just started wakeboarding after 10 years of surfing and looking to expand time on the water when the ocean is flat. Love your channel. Love the instructions, variety and your super attitude. Cheers and keep it up! You're pretty awesome.

[@RJ-hm8wc]

I love how you slip in some vids for beginner level riders every now and then! Thank you soooo much for this! Is there any chance one day you can do a short clip on how to get some hight of kickers? (a) Whenever I go for hight and I really push of the kicker i just end up being a mess in the air without any balance over the board. Thanks for the vids dave! Keep it up!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

RJ thanks RJ! Stoked you like it. Yeah it's something I should do. To make it smooth, the trick is to add speed, in your edge and then you travel further, go higher and land easier 😊👌🏻

[@jeremyweitzel726]

Dude, been enjoying the Vlog ride. THANKS!! I don't get to use your lessons as much as I want to, but it makes a HUGE difference when I do get out there.

[@pikepunk1]

In the words of Shaun Murray circa 1997... RAD! Good instructional as usual. Time to practice!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

GoFastDaddy haah he's a boss. Good luck!

[@elizabetemelnace8338]

I would love to see what you bring with you when you go to competition and I'm glad you qualified!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Elizabete Melnace equipment wise? Thanks. Delighted 😊😊

[@elizabetemelnace8338]

David O'Caoimh yes that would be nice

[@spsciroccomk2]

[@joshuahatton8722]

Nice video! I am still working through the blind landings and riding. Rock out at the event!

[@IxXJoschiXxI]

Okay, it´s officially time for me to finally learn the blind 180 :D Thanks for the tutorial Dave!

[@Gptrks]

[@jodyelliott9685]

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Jody Elliott unreal!! Tootsie is it? That's sick

[@andreikloc3424]

I' ll be working on those backs this weekend, Thanx!

[@liamd969]

Yessss! Ollie blind 180 here I come!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Liam DeGroft yesss. Go nail it 💪🏻

[@ellak3276]

Hooooow did you know i am about to try my first ollie?!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!!!!

[@neddazsembery242]

This helped a lot, I will try tomorrow when i go wakeboarding!

[@justinstevens9366]

Can you do a tutorial on how to "hard lean" like Shaun Murray? Or maybe just on how to ride in the "cuffed stance" with back to the boat?

[@dannyroberts9500]

Hey David, can you do a basic video on how to set your Boat up for wakeboarding as far as the line length, ballast basics (different variations and when to use ballast), speeds, etc? I feel a lot of people just kind of wing it "right out of the package" without any adjustments.

[@nashpagoota4833]

Awesome vid bro

[@reforbus4921]

Awesome for beginners 😁 keep up the awesome vids

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Reforbus I will. Thansk

[@noizy885]

Funny story last year I had no wake board experience and I bet my sister $20 I get up on my first try and I did it I’ve been loving wake boarding ever since 😀😀😀😀

[@nathanplummer853]

Thanks for this video, I've been trying to get Ollies so I've been waiting for this tutorial😂😂

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Nathan Plummer unreal! Good luck!

[@pololetigrou]

Dope video mate again! I ride boat you reckon it's easier to do it between the wake or outside?

[@TheBammable]

Is the concept the same behind a boat?

[@dylanspain7581]

Hey are u going to worlds in Toronto this week?

[@AndradeLearns]

David, when you go into the Ollie, I noticed that you edge a bit to get some line tension before you level off and ollie. How much should you edge before sending it?

[@jackkulaga3588]

What type of flip trick would you suggest to try as your first one?

[@reedbryson4315]

tantrum for sure

[@fruitface1730]

Ya we both doing it bro I’m beating you to it tho. Watch out

[@reedbryson4315]

Its basically just a backflip with an edge change

[@fruitface1730]

He has a tutorial on it too

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Yeah tantrum or backroll are usually easiest 😊👌🏻. Have both tutorials on my channel 👊🏻

[@jessesorokowski6384]

Can u use a board with fins at the cable?

[@MrLol400]

Yes you can. But you cant ride the Obstacles with it.

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Yeah you can, but it sucks on obstacles

[@liamd969]

Jesse Sorokowski yea but it's being rude to do it on obstacles because it rips them apart

[@epxiu128]

Do a tutorial on how to back 5

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

jimmy schmidt I know! Be sick

[@yermteam9786]

What's your favorite board?

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

YermTeam boat - O'Brien Valhalla and cable - O'Brien SOB ❤️❤️

[@tomcooke-priest159]

Good luck in Europeans and who is new sponsor?

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Tom Cooke-Priest soon I'll announce! And thank you!

[@jakebirnel4790]

Excited for the sponsor video David! Coming soon?!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

jake birnel ohhhhhhh I hope very soon! I'm literally buzzing to announce it!

[@z0mbiextwins212]

for some reason, i always get the rotation for the ollie blind 180, then i land it, but immediately i catch a heel edge and wipe out. other times i land it nicely, and then it just pulls me back causing me to do a backside switch. what's the problem?

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Z0mbieXTwins yooo. Maybe try passing the handle for the first few. It could help. But also, try and keep your chest up! If you need anymore help I'd be happy to work with you over video on docwake.com

[@snowyhammy2349]

I've just started wakeboarding. I'm from Thailand and we have a couple of wakeparks here too :) You have been to anthem wakepark right? im planning to go there next year. I still cant really wakeboard.. but i'll keep trying! you are an inspiration 😊

[@tylerbaker3832]

Never knew there was a such thing as a blind 180. Still thanks for the tips

[@fawzikaram6161]

David i am a beginner wakeboarder and i use boat. But i dont have a wakeboarding boat. I live in qatar and my 3 options are ronix liquid force and jobe i dont know what brand is best can you please recommend one

[@dylanspain7581]

Also, is it alright if I used my boat wakeboard on cable without fins? Would it hurt the board?

[@MarkT128]

Cool another "simple" thing to learn. Any chance of a tutorial on how to ride cuffed?

[@PaolaEnergya]

Well done on the EA Wakeboard Championship! Saw the insta story 👏🏆

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Paola Energya thank you!!

[@ethancohen7422]

That's good shet, definitely going to help

[@Michal_S0L]

I assume this can be translated to boat boarding

[@justwade6859]

hi

[@bencordick9723]

Great vid

[@pikepunk1]

How about giving a hashtag for these instructional videos, and we can tag ourself on Insta trying them :) #DocWakeOllie Notice I said trying. Maybe not failing :)

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

GoFastDaddy haha that would be cool!!

[@jasons543211]

Just checked this hashtag, no vids.

[@BananaBusDaniel]

Im a little late, but awesome video! I think that getting height in ollie looks really dope and can be combined with so many things in parks such as jumping onto sliders. definitely a must learn!

[@jackkulaga3588]

What is your favorite video you've done?

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Jack Kulaga game of cow! It was a nightmare to film and edit! but really good times

[@jusspxtternup5003]

I love your channel bro it’s been encouraging me to do more tricks all from your help

[@tropilopilopilisswain8373]

if you have fins on your board can you still surface 180??

[@suicidalstudios7403]

tropilopilopilis Swain yes

[@charles3450]

Slowly getting back into wakeboarding, your videos are great! If you can recommend one cable park anywhere in the world, where would be?

[@antoinedelplanque966]

Hi David love your video I learn a lot with :) can you just make a tutorial to talk about the nose press, I can' t land it but I' m not so far away and that can be cool to know what you think about it ;) see you on the next video =D

[@tomskalnins3164]

Thank you for all your tutorials! It was blast to see you in live action in Riga! Hope you enjoy Latvia and hope to see you in Latvia again :)

[@jackiecheong]

thx ur tutorial videos, loving it! Let's try in Thai Wake Park at the end of this month!

[@jjpepsi1]

I would love to see some more tutorials for tricks to do before you start flipping

[@KM-om6oe]

Quality channel man! keep up the good work 🤙👌

[@tammicha]

Pj thanks for vids and congrats to you!!

[@marcbittar49]
