You're spinning it too early. No pop. Short rope. Feel free to edge a little harder at it.

Keep your handle in more, you aren't rotating fast enough. By pulling your handle in and keeping it there it will help you to rotate faster. Also, hold on with two hands. You may want to do the 5 stage edge (1. outside of wake, slow 2. Moving in, faster 3. Beginning of trough, fast 4. Start of slope, really fast 5. Peak of wake, very, very fast). Try to pop more off the top of the wake by keeping your chest up and keeping your knees bent until you hit the peak of the wake and extend all the way.
