Learning Your First Wakeboard Flip with Cole

Does going upside down on your wakeboard sound intimidating? Ride alongside with Cole as he takes his first wakeboard set behind the boat AND goes for a flip at the same time! He's ridden cable in the past, had some inverts at the time, can do a standing backflip, and a great all around athlete. My challenge to him was to make a flip today and I think he can do it in 3 or less tries!
Comment below if you're gonna try this the next time you're on the water and let me know how it goes!

The look & smile after he landed the first one is what it's all about. Congratulations Cole, good job!

[@Shaun.Murray]

Right?! The best!

[@Rotimer]

When the rider, coach, and driver are all just too good to make a longer video 🙃 Congrats Cole!!

[@Shaun.Murray]

Seriously. Like, welp, I guess that was all he needed.

[@andrew_downey]

Captain Hayden going in hard on the outro!

[@Shaun.Murray]

Right?!

[@mayela835]

Love this! It’s still a little too cold over here, but now I’m excited again about getting the boat out!

[@Shaun.Murray]

Glad you're fired up! One of the reasons I put content out during the winter 🤙🏽

[@danilopalma6426]

The kid has the balls to send it 😂😂😂😂

[@clarkvip]

Send it!! 👍

[@coulsonhardy]

Love this

[@Shaun.Murray]

👊🏼

[@kylekelson8533]

Awesome! I can remember the mental barrier on my first flips. Cole was really laying them out on his first attempts, that was awesome to watch!

[@collin9085]

He's been doing inverts for 2-3 years at the cable park. So it's a bit different than your first attempts probably.

[@Shaun.Murray]

Just a year at the cable park when he was 12-13. But does make a difference. But I think the fact that he can do a standing back makes the biggest difference. That's way harder in my opinion

[@Lbavooo]

please make a video how you can learn how to grab this! (all inverts)

[@Shaun.Murray]

Thanks! I've added it to the list of things to shoot. ✌️

[@RonixViva]

YOOOO FIRST!!! SUP SHAUN

[@Shaun.Murray]

YOOO! RY! 1ST 👊🏼

[@hustlasstory7611]

Seems like he already had experience hahaha

[@Shaun.Murray]

About a year on cable when he was 12, so some, but first time behind the boat. Either way, I was impressed.

[@nathanpriechenfried6216]

I ride in the obx behind a small flats boat, gonna try this one next time I’m home! Wake is a bit smaller and I haven’t done a backflip before any tips?

[@Shaun.Murray]

Sick! If you have a trampoline park w a foam pit around, that's a great way to learn a backflip to help give you air awareness.

[@leelewis4943]

🤘

[@Shaun.Murray]

👊🏼

[@andrewnack7931]

I’m catching a vibe that this Cole is Hayden’s boyfriend. If that’s the case, don’t be too nice to him Shaun… 😀 Keep him a little scared/intimidated!

[@kylewakeboards]

So I can easily land a standing backflip. But I can’t get the landing down on a tantrum. I feel like I’m landing with too much weight on my back foot. Also I’m riding behind a 07 ski Natique since I’m on a waterski lake.

[@Shaun.Murray]

Good question Kyle. How you land is generally how you takeoff so get more weight on your front foot on the takeoff. But smaller wakes can make tantrums a bit harder so I'd suggest the same flip Cole did here because it's so much easier on small wakes than a tantrum.

[@turbolab2376]

This is a toe side back roll correct?

[@Shaun.Murray]

Nailed it

[@grabmatters]

This kids got some steeze tho

[@Shaun.Murray]

Right?!
