1) Get 200mm Underfoot.
2) Stomp it
3) Waterbang the shit out of it.

waterbang is key! i think hauling ass is the idea though, just tuck and lean forward and you should make it.

It's really not as hard as you might think. I did it with 78mm underfoot skis.  Just lean forward and giver! Speed is key.
