Cleaning up my jumps

Ok...I want my w2w to be clean and poppy. I want to be able to to sail in and pop straight up. It seems like I have to charge at the wake to clear it. I understand line tension is important but how do I max my tension? Cut through the wake with a progressive edge right, anyother tips to preload the line?...

HOUMARIDER, get some video if it is at all possible. Pretty tough to really give out much advice without it. We can all throw the standard lines at you about line tension, progressive edging, standing tall at the wake, etc. But that stuff doesn't do you much good if you think you're doing it and can't understand why you're not getting the results you want.

I spent too long thinking I was doing it and was confused. Then I watched myself on video and understood that I looked nothing like what I thought I did. Post it up.

I will have to make sure there is a video camara in the boat next time....I also do a lot of riding behind a pwc to work on surface stuff and edging. Should I be able to get any air off the wake besides ollies off the wake?...I am pretty sure that I am wasting energy in my legs. They seem to shoot to my chest after I leave the wake....just another little thng that I have to work on
