i dont seem to get the amount of height i want. i think i am not standing tall at the wake due to the habit of absorbing the wake from waterskiing, would this cause my hieght to be limited?

Use a good progressive edge which includes standing tall at the top of the wake. Try getting Detention or Higher Education and you will get a very good description of all the basics and some of the harder stuff.

the first dvd from "the book" series will help you with this. when edging in try to use the edge of the board and not rely on your fins. To practise this take the fins off your board and edge. Definatly stand tall at the top off the wake. Colorful
