Wakeboardign behind a PWC

It seems that everytime I go out in the flats and come back to jump the wake the PWC always slows down and I am unable to get any air. Is there something that I need to tell the driver or is it something that I am doing wrong.

yes , i had the same problem. make a signal of some sort so that when your cutting in have the drive speed up like 5-6 mph for a short burst
that will get you enough speed and get rid of slack in the line. just make sure he doesnt speed up too much, also do you have a newer PWC? some of the old ones dont do as well when pulling people behind them.

Yeah mainly it just the PWC because it is small and doesnt have much power the force of you cutting at the wake pull the pwc from side to side. I guess try what mdshoes2 said or pick up wakeskating.

Why get used to it? Get a better driver that can control the speed better. Almost the same with a boat.
