Should it be easier to jump the wake toeside or heelside?

heelside should seem easier at first but over time youll get comfortable toeside. On your toeside approach make sure at the top of the wake you stay on edge, and when youre edging in your edging harder and harder.

I was sliding out like you toeside, until I figured out toeside needs a different angle of approach. Don't attack the wake at the same angle as you would heelside. Just play around with it and you'll find the angle that feels smoother.

rpatriot18, if youre coming unwound from a toeside jump your letting offyour edge and flattening out when you hti the wake. keep your edge through the wake.
