pull the handle to you hip and edge through the entire wake

it might help holding onto the handle with one hand

iv heard that trying with one hand ill have to give it a try next time i go out

just remember to keep the rope low and at your hip. also, take your time edging into the wake so that you're not accidentally jumping. absorb the wake with your knees. Work on hard toeside edging only when you are outside of the wake (the side where your heels/back are facing the wake) until you get better at your edging.

This may not be a problem for you but I know when I was first starting to ride I had a bad habit of looking down at the water and the approaching wake and was falling a lot whenever I tried to cross the wake. Once I started keeping my eyes off the water and started looking where I wanted to go things got a lot easier. Once I figured this out I told my wife about it and she found that she had been doing the same thing without even realizing it.

I did the same thing as krieg when I first started. It made me lean forward and bury the nose of the board in the wake.
