Let me start off by saying that I'm REALLY bored at work right now...
So this seems to be a common theme with most "couples" that I ride with and myself included, in that usually the guy can ride halfway decent and is perfectly capable of teaching others to ride. However, when it comes to teaching their significant other, usually ends up in some sort of domestic violence issue.
Anyways, my gf has been riding for some time now and can edge properly and gets frustrated that she can't jump the wake. She has a good progressive edge and stands tall at the wake, however I can't get her to edge hard enough. She'll drift, drift, edge a little, and have like a medium edge at best when she edges through. Tried slowing the boat way down and practicing one wake jumps, shortening the line, lengthening the line, mellowing the wake out to almost nothing, practice edging as hard as she can outside the wake, etc... all the little tricks that has normally taught any timid rider female or male to get good pop worthy of a w2w.
I'm guessing it has something to do with my ridiculous obssession with wakeboarding and that somehow gets in the way of her seeing me as a significant other more than an instructor. I guess that delecate balance is off..
Any suggestions? Thoughts? Related stories?
