Hi all,

Been practicing unhooking for a few sessions now, and last one was consistantely landing raileys (albeit small) and hooking back in.

Just wondering what is the next easiest unhooked trick, and the process?

I have been doing back/front rolls hooked for a while, would a backroll be the next logical step?

Cheers,
Tom

Unhooked back roll, unhooked back roll to toeside, unhooked backroll to blind, unhooked front roll to toeside, unhooked toeside to blind, s-bend, double s-bend...

There's a big list, so start working on them.

allows you to do handle passes and other tricks like you do in wakeboarding. you cant raley or s-bend if the point of pull is at your waist.

People also unhook in the surf, but I cant kite in waves so i couldnt say why they do.

1. So that when you jump you get laid out like superman
2. So that the power comes through your arms and scares the absolute bejesus out of you
3. So that you can do twirlybirds, warbly-jigs, jiggly-puffs, and other fully sic wakestyle moves and then when you get out of the water put on a huge brimmed baseball cap with the gold sticker still on it.
