What sets the world’s best riders apart from the rest of the field is their ability to adapt to anything. Adaptation on a wakeboard can encompass the numerous disciplines: rail riding, contest results, kicker tricks, free-riding prowess, etc. Zoom in closer and you’ll find adaptation and variation within each of those disciplines.

I’ve always gotten a lot of attention from my riding, and I think it’s because my tricks are different than most other people. From tail tapping suspended road cones off the Malibu MXZ wake to wall rides, unique jibs and my own signature style on tricks, I try to get as creative as possible...

Wakesurfing is one of the funnest things to do behind the boat, but you can look like a kook pretty quick if you don’t add in a little style. Malibu’s new SURF GATE lets you create ocean-like waves behind the boat, so it’s high time to bring some more surf style to the lake...

One of the great things about wakeboarding is being able to put your own style on a trick that’s been done the same way for years. In this case, it’s a 360. I’ve been working on a wrapped heelside frontside 360 with a tuck knee grab that looks pretty unique...

I know what you’re about to say: “Oh man, this is lame. Stand-up paddleboarding is so whack.” Trust me, I’ve heard it all before and even said it myself; that was until I tried it. Now I’ve suddenly found myself screening the shipping department’s phone calls as they try to collect the board from this very photo shoot.

I pulled the Fall 2012 cover of TransWorld WAKEBOARDING with a tuck knee grab off the kicker. I tweaked that move so hard that I almost got my knee to the board. Now, you may not go to that level on your lake, but you can have a lot of fun with tuck knee tricks, especially when you can work them into a spin or a flip...

There are two types of 180 shoves — surface shoves and air shoves — and the motion for the two is very similar. As a result, I’m going to teach you how to do the surface shove first, so you can work up to the air shove and if you’re really ambitious eventually taking it to 360...

When you get a regular stalefish down, you can take this versatile trick to a lot of different places. The stalefish is cool because it looks great poked out and a little off-axis, and when incorporated into spins it becomes a little techy as well...

Check it out! Josh Sanders surfing a massive, clean wake produced by the Supra SA. The wake is so big, Josh almost even gets a little barrel action. Endless waves for days.

Once you have mastered surfing frontside, it is always a blast to totally reteach yourself and learn how to surf backside. This is a little tricky at first, but you’ll get it in no time — here are a few tips that will help.

Trevor Maur reminding us that Individuality can make all the difference. Making a trick your own helps the cream rise to the top. The great part about this sport that we all love is we can take our riding in any direction we choose...

This particular How-To is not necessarily a step by step, but more an example of how control of a trick can open the doors to new moments to grab.  Rusty snaps an extra late indy poke on a boosted backside 540...
