The Wakeboarding Progression Chain of Tricks

[@harlan980]

Some of the most down to eat videos and I love that u keep riding most vlogers stray alway from riding and do other stuff for views but u have kept to riding and I respect that thx for the amazing vids keep at it as soon as I'm good enough I'm going to get some help from doc wake u have been a amazing inspiration thx again

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Avid Mtb hey, thanks so much for the kind words! Yeah I try to keep it rider focused as much as I can!! Unreal! Keep the progress up 😊👊🏻

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Ohh, and there's no "good enough' for docwake. I literally welcome anyone at any level 😊😊

[@carterholtzman6650]

u should do a challenge where u see what u can do without a tower

[@jasminestandley5058]

I don’t have a tower

[@hudsonkroening4420]

Thx mate I’m just starting wake boarding but this was rly helpful

[@zachturner2446]

Thank man. I have been waiting for a video like this. Looking to see what the next steps are for my riding.

[@benmurphy8919]

This vid was really helpful as I've just jumped the wake bs for the first time and gonna try frontside but as you side to ride switch I'll work on riding switch before any tricks with air as I can do alot of surface tricks :)

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Ben Murphy awesome to hear Ben! And that's the best mindset for the switch. Just work on it each time you ride and it will become easier and easier

[@lakeluke8829]

im going to try all of that stuff.Thanks man you mean a lot to me.

[@sassafraswakeboyz4121]

David O'Caoimh hey man the sassafras wakes boyz want to session with you...

[@stuntgranny7780]

Thanks to your how to videos I landed my first tantrum yesterday on my 3rd try. I love your videos keep up the good work

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Stunt Granny that's awesome! Congrats

[@stuntgranny7780]

David O'Caoimh it would be absolutely amazing it would make my whole year if you could go to my channel and watch the video and comment and tell me what I can fix about it

[@gamergotaids]

This is so useful... I've always wanted to know where am i standing at. Seems like i was pushing my limits too fast too quickly. Thank you David!

[@adamplummer4121]

Great video. Nice to know the order. Wake to wake is down. Toe side and heel side 180's. Working on the handle pass on the surface 360. Twisted an ankle on a back roll attempt but it's getting close. XD. No back roll attempts this week but still working basic tricks while I "rehab". Keep bringing the vids!

[@zac.kw33]

Love your vids I am a wakeboarding and can 3 back roll every wake to wake and stuff this really really helped me cuz I am trying toeside backrolls.

[@crouhaus4552]

Hi David, thanks for the videos they are really helpful. Agree with some of the other comments it would be great if you could do a similar vid for cable. Have just started landing ralleys, back rolls and blind judges and not sure what to try next - any recommendations?

[@marektoman]

This my first comment here, huge fan from the start of the channel

[@user-mg4tq4km5n]

Saving this one for next year

[@pikepunk1]

Fancy hoodie you've got there. 1 wake 360, here we come!

[@brosendahl8519]

Really like it that you react to your subscribers!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

B Rosendahl hahah always try and get back to people where possible 😊✌🏻

[@Chris-kn5ly]

Great video David! Could you also do a video for the progression of tricks at a cable park? Thanks :)

[@OneLaunchKiteboarding]

I really like your videos, pretty cool atmosphere in it, great skills on the water and no useless show off attitude which is very pleasant !! One little question, where does raley stands for you in this progression ? I would say about the same as tantrum but I just wanted opinion of a pro. thx

[@luketaylor9129]

Hey David, love this video, would you consider making a similar video for cable riding and which obstacles to attempt first? Keep it up 🤙

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Luke Taylor 110% its something that I'll be doing for cable too soon! I'd advice a kicker on the heelside first if possible. Then maybe a basic funbox if it's a possibility

[@sebastiandetz2610]

Hey man great video as always! Would love to see something like this for the cable as well. Keep it up!

[@sebastiandetz2610]

I see this is something you've addressed in the other comments already :) looking forward to the vid!

[@spencerzizman7413]

this helped me heaps thanks david just got toeside 720 and 540 and I'm only 11

[@noelhand7623]

Jesus

[@gregerslevinwinther7545]

You should meet up with Bob Soven in the States! Would be the best content for a Vlog! Cheers

[@nickkiely7747]

i love ur vids . keep it up u r killing it .

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Nicholas Kiely stoked you like them! 😊👊🏻

[@twakes2329]

Do a cable version

[@vasiii]

Need this!

[@Nowindnokitenofun]

Nice vid... can be a jungle for us intermediate riders 😀 could u do one for cable and when to process with air or kicker for highest success rate?

[@CJFstudios]

Just bought an old master craft pro star hopefully Ill be able to do a tantrum or backroll behind it

[@kelliestevenson6340]

Ahhh thank you so much for making this!!!

[@desmoMarco91]

awesome vid, can you do the same kind of video for cable only? recommended rail tricks for starters? Should I be able to do EVERYTHING else before i start trying raleys? thanks!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Marco Brotto thanks. I plan on doing similar video for cable soon, but no, just try and be able to hit kickers and rails then your good enough to try Raley a

[@theveryaverage]

Sweet Video Mate! This will really help me in my progression!

[@piotrdmy1894]

Gr8 stuff Lad :) at right speed. Could you please provide the same for cable park tricks - although most of the beginner tricks have similar flow it would be helpful seeing it performed at a cable park. Give it a thought. Peace out :p

[@kimberrajoo3418]

Could you do a cable park progression version. thanks

[@theokeroulle4343]

Awesome video David ! Have you already done a how to scarecrow on the boat or not yet? If not it would be cool!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Theo Keroulle hey Theo. Yeah I think I'm like a year ago! Search on my channel and you'll find it

[@myman2231]

It would be awesome if u do another video about cablepark tricks. Should i hit kickers or basic inverts first

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Berke Küçük I'd say kickers first. I'll try do a video for that soon!

[@myman2231]

David O'Caoimh thanks man looking forward for the video keep being awesome!

[@sunlightf]

You're like my dream man . Hahah seriously, you're great! Started wakeboarding at the cable park this summer and i'm totally addicted to it! May i ask you your thoughts about the ctrl hustle board? Is it good for the cable? Thanks again for your video, you're an inspiration 🤙 Cheers from italy

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

yohChie hahaahh thank you 😊 Delighted you're loving the shredding! Keep that up. Honestly, no experience on that board so I can't give a fair opinion. If it's flex then I'm sure it's capable for the job! 😊✌🏻

[@tiaoovilela]

simples e direto, muito bom o video, sou teu fã, ja te acompanho a mais de ano, e um dia ainda quero poder andar contigo hahaha sucesso mano!

[@cloroxbleach6084]

Nice hoodie David

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

ahahah had to wear one for a vid :) :)

[@ReggieR3gg]

It's flooding here from the hurricane, wish i had a winch! Thanks for the vid

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Reggie J ohhh no! Get behind the car!

[@ReggieR3gg]

David O'Caoimh haha i need that pole you had in your vid

[@Pieterjanliekens]

center fin yes or no? Can you do a video on fins? How do you know you have enough wake height from the boat? Ballasts etc..

[@wshelnutt10]

Im stuck on the 360 and backroll. So frustrating but i know it will be rewarding.

[@codyblake9477]

Nice work bro love the vids!

[@collingipe7612]

Come to San Fran and hit up Velocity island!!

[@joshuahatton8722]

Super solid video! Thanks for the helpful direction. So, I can go HS wake to wake, and switch HS wake to wake. Should I then begin working on TS w2w or reg and switch HS 180s or continue to dial in my "pop", which still needs work? That said, I can do a ton of ollie 180s FS and BS switch and reg (just for some background), and I can ride switch nearly as well as regular. Thanks!

[@jodyelliott9685]

hey David, great vid really helpfull, working on the tantrum stage!! ;)

[@lucas1235688]

Hey David i have a question for ya Have you ever thought of going kitesurfing bc i think it would make a great vid haha ps i am i teamrider in my country and kinda sponsoret for cabrinha and it would be funny to see you try :))

[@tkrey23]

Got on a wakeboard for the first time last summer. Now I am 100% comfortable switch, can go wake to wake on both heels and both toes, and can do all 4 180's that aren't blind very reliably - no crashes anymore. I spent some time trying to do blind 180's but I never got the rope pass down. Kept getting out of shape, almost horizontal with the water, and landing on my toes and hurting my ankles. Decided to spend more time getting smoother at passing the rope spinning on the surface, so that's what I've been doing lately. Aside from that, I have a few times played around with lining up a tantrum and it feels weird! But I've never actually tried committing and throwing it. I am fine with backflips on a trampoline but timing everything on the wake seems scary. Maybe I'll take your advice and "don't be a pussy". haha. I will probably only be able to ride a couple more times before winter! (That was longer than I intended!)

[@sc10rs]

great vid mate!! on the money!! 😊

[@nickhendry2320]

Hey David, do you use fins on your wakeboard? If not, what skill level did you take them off?

[@nickhendry2320]

And what would you recommend, fins or no fins. I'm a beginner btw. I can jump the wake and 360.

[@SuperCrapmypants]

It's all personal preference. For cable usually no fins. For boat most people like a little bit like maybe 2 half inch fins on each side, some have more and some have less, it all depends on the type of board and shape and preferably

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

The man is right!! ⬆️⬆️

[@nickhendry2320]

Thanks!

[@breeves7308]

You should do a cable version of this with like rail tricks and stuff

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Reeves Watersports I agree. Gunna do it soonish

[@Chedoke37]

Hi Dave I really hope you read this can you tell me what type of life jacket you wear

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Chedoke 37 it's a super old Billabong one

[@DigitalorcharditCoUk]

I was wondering if the tricks where the same on cable, I want to progress, have a few sets tomorrow was considering trying 180 to blind and a relay, thoughts?

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Digital Orchard IT hey, they are sort of similar, but it's soemthing I'll 100% do for cable too. Yesss, try them, if you can man up enough to try Raley, it's not as difficult as you might think

[@DigitalorcharditCoUk]

Cheers, I might try and film it for a laugh. Cheers Simon

[@brycecopeland8035]

The dedication of driving an hour and a half payed off

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Bryce Copeland haahah it was 100% worth it! Although tough after staying up till 6.30am to watch mcgregor 💪🏻🇮🇪

[@brycecopeland8035]

Haha

[@ivegotasuprayt1113]

where is the raley located

[@suaveceraptor2554]

Hey I love these videos

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

glad you like them!! Thanks for watching!! :)

[@cadez8386]

Good vid as always🤘🏻👌🏼

[@mement0263]

What would your suggestion be for cable rider? the very first five water/kicker tricks?

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Karolis Mastauskas first kicker hit id suggest 360 then tantrum (or toeside backroll) and off the water I'd suggest Raley or backroll 😊

[@mement0263]

David O'Caoimh Awesome, thank you!

[@nolankosch5069]

How wide is the handle you use and does it make it easier to having a wider handle to grab for 360s

[@edwardmoloney1914]

Hey can you please do another winching video.

[@SavageTech]

very helpfull man keep up the good work!!!

[@afrosoulstylist]

When I first watched this vid last year I thought Dave was talking Romany or Cockney slang and couldn't understand a (wakeboarding) word... Fast forward a year plus, with the advice from the wakeboard wonder and his vids, I now speak and understand wakeboardese to a certain extent. I have truly progressed towards my goals in this fantastic sport, from zero to enthusiastic and competent novice in one season... There are Champions and then there are People Champions. Dave OC is, by a country mile, the Peoples Champion of wakeboarding. docwake.com peace!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

afrosoulstylist best comment ever. Thank you and just congratulations on the progress!!

[@santicanalejo2747]

Gogo mann! You are awesome

[@MrJesseDeBeste]

extremely helpful thanks man

[@vuksorat7880]

David how many times need to learn switch?

[@lakeluke8829]

you should get a merchandise with like wetsuits,hats,maybe even wakeboards,

[@IxXJoschiXxI]

Short but good as always ;)

[@andrinz2136]

Thank you so much for this video!! I've still got one question: Where would you put a raley or an indy glide in this progression chain?

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Andrin z hey, Raley would be in the intermediate, and then in my opinion, Indy glide is advanced!

[@andrinz2136]

Thank you for the answer! Appreciate it

[@Baptidu71]

Could you please make the same video but for wake parks cause I don't ride on a boat..

[@alvlad8603]

How do I know whether I am going to beginner to intermediate because I can do a grab on my heel side but I can't get out of the wake on switch

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Alexander Vladimirov aweosme. So I'd say try get wake to wake 180s and then it's time to move up. But before then your energy is best put into learning switch and 180s more

[@alvlad8603]

David O'Caoimh ok got it thanks

[@kategrice]

What’s weird for me is toe side is my better side compared to heel side which I’m pretty trash at

[@Pon3yG4ng]

When do you learn blinds in all this?

[@temsaa710]

I still havent landed my first wake to wake, started like 2 weeks ago xD got a long way ahead of me

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

temsaa710 hahah a long enjoyable road! Make the most of it!

[@walkerslife6659]

I am striving to be like you someday.

[@patrickpeplinski104]

How do you know if the boat is going to fast for a beginner. Think my driver said he was going 22 mph I believe. Is that too fast or ok?

[@zac.kw33]

Come to aus again and come to bundy

[@lawsonstevens42]

Can you please do this for cable

[@santicanalejo2747]

You should come to miami!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Santi Canalejo I would love to one day hit it up!!

[@nemosharkface123]

well ive been trying to do a tantrum instead of a a backroll the whole time 😂😂

[@jacobbrown8506]

Me trying to teach my friends how to wakeboard 1:37

[@tomcooke-priest159]

Plz do one for cable trick plz

[@averydahlquist4893]

Moreeee of these please, mabye more in depth??!

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Avery Dahlquist yess. 110% can go more into depth. I just didn't want to make the video too long and boring for people haha

[@averydahlquist4893]

David O'Caoimh I'm starting to get comfortable on my board, I can Ollie a little and this is going to help regardless

[@nikelarson8372]

I think it would be cool if you made your own wakeboard and we could buy it

[@collingipe7612]

Nike Larson yesssssss 👍👍

[@orteg3940]

what should I do next when I can do wake to wake jump and have not enough balls to try something new?

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Andrii Pasichnyk 180s, toeside wake to wakes

[@Freemont11]

Is it bad I barely wakeboard but went out for about an hour and already jumped from wake to wake, but yet I can’t ride switch at all 😂

[@santicanalejo2747]

Well tell me when you come!

[@haughtydeer6461]

"Don't be a pussy"...lmao I love it

[@auggiehueseman9681]

i tried a backroll on saturday and could only get half the rotation, how can i rotate quicker?

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Auggie Hueseman sick. Kick your heels harder at the wake!

[@Clemduh]

is there a big difference between old wakeboards and newer wakeboards ? because I've got an old jobe wakeboard (2001) and I want to know if its worth the money to buy a new board... they are sooo expensive ! and is there a big difference between wakeboarding with or without waketower ? because I can't convince my dad to buy one (he says its not such a big difference)

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Clement Duhamel hey, so yeah the first thing I'd say is maybe go for an upgrade on the board. A lot of big changes have happened in the last 16years in board technology. They are now way more responsive, lighter and user friendly to ride. Then as far as the tower, it helps a lot, maybe look at getting a pylon (I've done a video on what's possible with one on my channel before)

[@Clemduh]

Is there still going to be a pylon giveaway, or did I mis it ?

[@joshuahatton8722]

I may also add, as a beginner to intermediate rider that your bindings are pretty critical as well. I noticed a huge difference going from a looser open toe to a molded closed toe binding.
