Riding a new board behind a new boat and I can't jump consistantly. Sometimes I get a ton of height and come up short. Sometimes I get ok height but land in the flats (hard on my bum knee) and sometimes the best of all, good height and land on the downside of the wake..

Anything I should try to get control over my height and distance? I don't know if I am charging the wake too hard when I am landing in the flats. Or if I am not lifting at the right time..

Any help would be great.. Thanks!

Lifting at the right time? What do you mean by that? There shouldn't be any lifting by you going on when you are hitting the wake.
