Im getting about 2 ft of air and Im almost clearing the wake ( I know I can if I get a lil more speed) but I can't seem to land on my edge and ride away. I always end up landing flat. Anybody got any advice? Thanks.

Maybe try letting go of the handle with your back hand and keep your shoulders parallel with the board?

don't pop as hard, i think that might causing you to get pulled forward off your board. try holding your edge longer and using a wider cut.

thanks for the help guys. Ill give it a try when I go this week. How much air is everyone getting on their w2w's?

Just make sure you land with your knees bent. I was going w2w pretty easily last year and I landed straight legged and it almost blew out my knee. It kept me out for a week of riding and I haven't made a real attempt sinse.

2' is not bad if you are not comfortable going w2w. I only get about 3 or a little over.
