sine no one is helping ya, i will try to, i dont ride boat though, iride cable, but i can try anyways, i would think you should do exactly the same thing you do with your wake, but maybe with more strength, or push or something to get more air, i dont know if thats right, just try various things that wont effect your riding to much to figure out how to

You a progressive edge and make sure your knees are bent, and when you get to the wake stand up tall and pop your knees

if possible add some wieght to the boat, it will help increase the wake size. Also work on a good progressive edge, standing tall at the wake, and cutting all the way through the top.

having a pole does not increase your air/height, it only gives you more hang time when you get the air because it doesnt pull you down... as ryan and wakeborder5 said, progressive edge is the key.

pop comes from the wake and your edge, hang time comes from the hieght of the rope, as the other guys said work on your edge, and don't be bummed if you don't get the pop, a smaller wake will do that,

cut out as far as you can, cut in as sharp as you can, when you hit that wake, pop the board with your legs and knees. land safely into the flats.

he means to continue to create tension in the line by increasing your edge all the way to the wake ... this helps to give u your pop when u release from the wake
