1 - stay a little lower as you approach the wake then stand up of the top of the wake this may give you some more height
2- think of an ollie with skateboarding where you snap down on the tail then push your front foot forward to flatten out the board, try to apply that you your jumps since you nose is staying way higher than your tail in that video (maybe try to suck up you legs after standing tall off the wake)

NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! This is the WORST habit to get into in the sport. My friend got into this habit and his techniqe was orrible. It will make you happy with the impression of big air. When in fact you are getting almost nothing. Right not he is still working on wake jumps while i'm doing grabs and 180's because I was happy to get good techniqe while showing off a bit less.

If you don't stand tall or get your launch then yes this is true but once you are near your peak you need to suck up your feet if you want to grab.
The issue are kids that try to jump off the wake and suck up there legs (sounds like your friend) instead of standing tall and launching off the wake, this guy is properly launching but he stays in that position so he needs to even out the board in the air which can be done by done by sucking up his back leg spicifically.

NO see his problem is that he never worked on his techniqe. His form is horrible and he see's it now when I get cheers for going huge (by our standards) on my grabs and normal on wake jumps. However he can't go any bigger because his legs are already up. Everyone that rides with us thought he was sooo much better because his board was 3 feet above the water but not mine is 5 so i'm getting the chicks.  . The main problem isn't jumping, its accepting what you have because it looks HUGE.

Toseside is much harder so you have to exagerate the whole process. Stay really low as you approach the wake and concentrate hard on popping off the top of the wake.
