Watch videos of guys that are really good at it and watch where the keep the handle, which way they are leaning, how their knees are bent, pump the transition...etc. That's a really good way to get an idea of what you are doing.

Also start doing big ollies off of the boat rollers when you turn around, it's an easy way to feel out the wake.

hope that helps
