Air with a Kneeboard

Me and a few friends had a go with a kneeboard a few days ago and now have a question for any cable kneeboard experts ?

What we would like to know - Is it possible to get big air when using a kneeboard on the cable to do rolls, flips and raleys etc.

If so, could someone post the basics on how to...
Is it like an ollie where you create your own pop for the trick you want to do by bouncing the board ?
Load the line so you just get pulled off the water ?
or do you need to use a kicker ?

mx5alan, i think the easiest way to go would to just cut at a kicker as hard as you can, im sure that will get you plenty of air.

kneeboards are actually urban myths for anyone who is unsure of what hes talking about.

if only that worked on people besides like 8 year olds who know nothing

couple weeks ago i saw someone at owc who was mostly wakeboarding, pull out a kneeboard and rip it up on the rails. he hit the rail, 720ed the picnic table, did a roll off the cheese wedge, and hit the camo. he also ollied the barrel. it was pretty sick to see it.

yea you can hit flatbars on a tube. come strait at it and just yank up.but the low ones are too easy. try one at least knee high.
