I'm pretty good the trick is to bend your knees.

I like that dropping the centre of gravity.

Answer 2

depending where I am, I am usually pretty good on one, but sometimes you get that one guy that is flying and kicks you off lol.

When I am driving a boat I always slow down for SUP or small boats.

Answer 3

I'm not too bad, it all depends on the board and the size of the wake!

What Ive always wanted to surf a wake off a tanker.

Answer 4

I like to think I am pretty good. Cant say that I have ever been knocked off from the wake of a boat. Best thing to do if you have time is turn your board and take the waves head on. If you can't, like benscuba said bend your knees. To add to that I would bend your knees with the waves (one at a time not necessarily both) like you are snowboarding or skiing.

Answer 5

Very good but it gets harder on narrower race boards. Always try to take it head on, legs bent and loose hip distance apart,( a staggered stance is also helpful going head on only, get lower for more stability, go faster for more stability, keep your paddle blade active by paddling for best stability, paddle could also be used to brace(high and low bracing), go to knees when it’s too much. Always look out past board better balance, looking at feet is bad for balance. When going head on into wave or wake plant your paddle just past the peak of wave.
