Work that edge you got going and at the peak of the wake extend your legs.

I always have trouble jumping toeside. Go out to jump heelside and use a progressive edge and hit the lip wake with straight legs and it should be a go.

Its all about the progressive edge and the pop. ALso its a lot easier to get air HS then TS. I recommend shortening the rope, then practice till u can jump the wake consistantly, then lengthen the rope, repeat then lengthen it again till u get to where u wanna ride. I started off this summer riding a 45 ft rope barely jumping the wake now i ride 55 ft and can easily jump it.
