when doing grabs i find myslef reaching down to grab the board before i really get out of the water, i think this is making my airs less impressive, whats your guys methods for grabs?

i cant really grab that good cause im just now learning them, but i wait for the board to float up to me (like it does when you w2w jump and suck your knees up) and then try and grab

ya never bend over to grab, just bring your knees up, it makes you look like your going even higher

Just suck in your knees and grab indy. It's the easiest. Maybe even a litte towards the front of the board like a crail.

Suck up your knees, grab, then hold on to the board until just before you land. Most people just grab the board for a split second and it looks pretty ugly

I find it really difficult to get enough hang time or board control on w2w's to be able to grab.. most the time i've gotta really focus on making sure the board's under me so I don't end up in another one of those nasty splits...

Am I popping off the wake incorrectly?... Think w2w grabs are just awesome..
