I've been wakeboarding a year now and i dont know anyone who can really tell me what to do so im self teaching. I can carv in and out of the wake very well and i want to learn to jump the wake. When i jump should i actually try to push off the wake or should i keep my legs strong and go right through? Thanks

there are many postes answering your question. Just use the search button at the top. but if you want a real short non complicated answer just keep your legs straight. But if you really want the long answere do a search.

There is no "jumping" involved. you ride through the wak and keep your legs stiff. This does not mean you have to keep them locked, but just don't absorb the wak or try and push off the water to get air.

Let the wave pop your board off the water.
