Raley Help needed (pics included)

So my two problems are that I'm going into a 911 more often than just a regular raley and I'm not getting the air I want. (I'm much more concerned with the air.)

Am I leaving the wake too early?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

u are pulling your body forward before you snap off the wake. when you hit the wake you should be leaning back to get max snap/pop

2 things to keep you from twisting in the air
1) keep your eyes straight ahead...look over the boat otherwise you are going to twist every time you go into the air cuz your body follows your head
2) make sure your weight is even on your feet when you cut into the wake so that you hit it 50/50 and hit it hard. if you do it right it will scoop your legs up behind you and it will be completely natural. good luck Smile

I'm totally impressed that you got the board back underneath you in that series of photos.

come is leaning way back. your back and legs should be more straight than a normal wake jump. when cutting in cut in progressivly and hard but make sure that the weight over your feet are even. If you have to much weight on your back foot it will cause you to do what you are doing in the series of pictures you have. In the air make sure your head is straight then just pull er down. also a 911 is a backside shifty not frontside

So I don't need to "pop" so much. I usually try to come in in a seating position. But perhaps I should already be extended?
