Sketchy board control

So when I hit my wake to wakes my board seems to turn in the air not really affecting my landings or anything but it just looks sketchy and sadness.

I wanna say its my push off the wake and I'm not using the same pressure on each leg.

then again today wasn't my best day.

Is is happening consistently or just today?

Well I'd say use it! Get some height and swing your board even more and turn the move into a 'shifty'!

I would say its more consistent.

Sometimes my Nose is high and others it just seems like I turn sideways and square up with the boat although both hands are on the handle.

Well, if it's not intended, you'll definitely want to correct the problem rather than hide it. My guess is that your edge leaving the wake is not consistent with your direction of travel. Make sure you're not breaking your edge loose at the wake, and just hold your position solid through the air. Play around with handle placement as well. You could just be holding your handle too much center on your waist or pulling too hard with your back hand which is naturally affecting your position in the air from line tension.

I'll try that the next time I'm out thanks Man.

I also noticed that because of this I cannot land any wakeskate jumps either. whether it be 1w or w2w

My nose is almost always high. Is that an indication of something I'm doing wrong?
