When you go w2w stand tall at the wake so that you dont suck up the wake and not get full pop and try to take a progressive edge and dont cut in so fast. You dont need a tower but it helps keep a better pull. Not sure about the back though, its sounds like your body position is wrong. It should be like your sitting down in a chair.

Likely your body position is wrong if you're "bak" is hurting.
