Okay, start with a nice ts progressive edge. Cut all the way through the wake, and keep the handle low. If it helps, let go with your trailing hand to keep balance, or so you don't do a 180. Keep trying, you will get it.

It really helps me to think about keeping my direction while in the air.

I will have to give the double post credit to Alexa. Oh well! I couldn't figure out how to erase one of them.

Make sure you keep both hands on the handle until you are leaving the wake. This will make it easier to keep the handle in at your hip.
Also, really concentrate on edging through the wake. A lot of people I see learning wake to wake TS are getting plenty of height but are going in the wrong direction, i.e. in the same direction as the boat as opposed to across the wakes.

i just got back from a 1 week houseboat trip and i told myself that by the end of the trip i would be able to jump the wake toeside. i procrastinated until halfway threw the the trip and then decided to go for it. at first i was getting about 3/4 of the way over and i wasnt really edging across the wake i was just jumping off of it. but i was able to land it across both wakes a couple of times and when i was able to do this it took hard cuts and stiff legs at the top of wake. it feels awkward at first but the more you try the more comfertable you get.

to get comfortable landing toeside, start on the inside of the wake and cut ts and get a little pop off the inside and practice landing. then take small one wake jumps. when you are comfortable doing each, put them together

to tell the truth it wasn't really a double post...look at the times: 2:15 and 3:01 Twisted Evil

colefooter pretty much got it. do a one wake ts jump to get used to the jump and then try it w2w

whenever you jump the wake on your heelside, don't screw yourself and just go back and do it again, since you're already on the T/S side of the wake, jump it back. Just keep going back and forth and in no time flat you'll have it
