About Tantrum

To do a tantrum you will need to know how to do progressive edging and be good at landing tricks.

To start you need to begin as though you were going to do a big progressive heelside jump. Cut out on your heelside 10 to 15 feet and wait for the boat to start pulling you back towards the wake. You are going to need to start edging as though you would have maximum edge when you reach the top of the wake.

The tantrum does not have you utilize maximum edge however when you are on top of the wake. This is known as a type of trip flip and you will need to let off your edge and switch your momentum forward by standing tall and leaning into the wake. After leaning into the wake it feels as if you are being tripped and sent forward. You need to follow this momentum and let go of the handle with your back hand. When the energy created is let loose you need to use your hips and upper body to follow through while using the handle to guide you.

As you finish the tantrum pull the handle in to maintain good control and square up your body for a smooth landing. Make sure you land on the downside of the wake and you should have an awesome new trick in the arsenal!
