when you hit the wake do you continue progressive edge (or whatever it's called) or do you straighten out some just before you hit the wake

Edge right through the wake if you flatten out you will have less pop and control of your landing. Nothing is worse then landing flat.

Ya and when you should be in a sitting position while edging in and as you get to the bottom of the wake start to extend your legs.

extending your legs will also help you pop off the wake and catch more air.
