How Do You Porpoise On A Kneeboard?
You’ve probably already done some porpoising by accident while learning to kneeboard. Now learn to control it until you can do rhythmic bounces of 1 to 2 feet in height. Kneeboard in a straight line outside the wake. Pull the handle toward your waist and your knees toward your chest, while leaning back. This will cause the board to bounce. Push your knees down as the board bounces into the air, to make the board parallel to the water while in the air. Lean forward and allow your arms to extend slightly but not straight out. Land with the board almost flat, with the nose slightly higher than the tail, and begin leaning back. Repeat the entire process immediately so you again bounce into the air, even higher this time. Establish a rhythm with your jumps, doing 5 to 10 in succession. By the second jump, you should be bouncing 1 to 2 feet off the water. Generate a rocking horse rhythm of leaning back and pulling in on the handle, then leaning forward and letting out the handle.
