You may be leaning too much on your front foot, and therefore not on your back foot.

make sure when u ollie u don't just jump...when u ollie u need to lift front first then back after or the board kinda sucks to the water n u'll dive.

Keep the handle by your hips.

yea sounds like a classic handle out to me.. and dont look down.. look in the direction your heading. You shouldnt be looking at the water or the boat on your w2w jumps.. instead pick point out beyond the opposite wake your jumping. And that handle should be down near your waste and pulled in pretty close on the w2w or the ollie.
