Everytime I jump, I jump with the back of the board pointing down.

wakerider268, and? J/k Ive found that that happens if I let of my edge on my TS jumps. Maybe same with HS? Try and keep your weight even on your cut and hold your edge.

wakerider268, it's because you're heavy on your back foot. Try and even your weight out when you cut in. It'll feel a bit weird at first, but just put more weight on your front foot... if you do it properly, not only will you level your board out, but you'll also pop higher off the wake.

ontrider is right. You have too much weight on your back foot upon takeoff.

on a completely unrelated note... keep the handle in closer to your front hip and dont let go of the handle unless you are passing or grabbing.

Your leaving early and not getting a clean pop off the wake. You really gotta hit the wake then wait a split second befor exploding off the wake. You'll fly real high and the board will naturally be level.
