I Want REAL WORLD TESTIMONY: Z3 Rough Water Performance

[PaceWithGrace]

When you go to turn, lift throttle, turn hard and give it power (not power turn) to the high side for fastest turn and move like you are going to take on your own rollers without waiting for them to pass. As you are getting past 90 deg and about to get into your rollers put the boat in reverse keeping the wheel turned toward the high side. If you did it correctly the boat is already rotating around very quickly, now put that bad boy in reverse before you hit the rollers. This will continue your turn, but also alter your forward momentum and timing and allow the rollers to go under without coming over bow. The moment the last roller is under, its just a few seconds, hammer down and don't go straight to your rider, go IN BETWEEN your rider and the boat. When you go faster weighted down it is hard to steer and you don't want to be too close to your rider, all you want to do in this situation is put your big boat in the EYEBALLS of the guy that can't see your rider.

Hope that helps, practice this first, and it works on any normal turn around, you just can use reverse and forward with less zeal. ;-) It really works because when you just try to hammer down and turn it takes a long time to do that turn, the quickest way to your rider is to do the 180 as fast as possible and THEN hammer down.

Hi Ragboy,

I love tips like this. Thanks! If you've got any more, or videos to demonstrate, I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated!
