Hold your progressive egde all the wat thru the wake and don't stand tall. If you are losing the board chances are you are letting off you edge at the last second. Practice shorter one wake jumps and gradually start your cut out a little farther.

Good luck.

start with a shorter rope. get your ollie dialed on the flats, progress into one wake ollies, make sure you are popping it off the wake, this is what makes the board come up with you. when you feel confortable enough to try w2w edge in hard, square up and then ollie off the wake with your body perpendicular to the wake. if you go off the wake on an edge you're gonna get thrown out of whack. keep at it and keep practicing, you'll get it. It also helps to have a video of your attempts so that you can watch yourself later in slow mo and see what you might be doing wrong. watch wakeskate videos in slow mo as well and watch how the pros do it.

i stand tall and then suck my knees up. i can clear, just get all sketchy on the landings and slide out. usually land with my feet to far in teh middle... (natural instinc to protect teh goods i guess)

wake_master007, i like the parks board in your profile, really sums up the dumbassness that is your personality.
