I see pictures of people boosting big floating airs off small chop or even what looks like flat water. I sail mostly on a lake with slalom gear and I can do small "chop hop" but I've always dreamt of big floating airs. Occasionally I fluke something that feels like i'm floating and getting a bit more hang time, but now I'm getting more confidence and want to go bigger!

I've seen the youtube clips for how to "chop hop" but I've never seen a "how to" about big air on chop/flat water. Anyone have any tips?

Photos from Sunday at Lagoon Beach. Ben, Gill and Jeff enjoying some windy and cold conditions in the middle of the day.

Jeffs chop jump which I thing is on the forth and fifth photos was ridiculously long and the two photos don't really do justice to how long he was floating in the air.
