hold that edge all the way through the wake. the only time you want to flatten off is if you are trying a trip flip (tantrum or front flip). holding the edge will also help keep tension on tht rope to help pop you up.

Make sure you stand up at the wake, but hold your edge.

the way you go....... if you try to point the board where the boat goes, for sure you will get a faceplant or something bad.... keep on edging away even when you landed the jump (both sides: toeside and heelside)
