How do you do it? i rode an old absolute and i could get tons of pop at a 45 degrees, now that i got my new board without a center fin i almost hit the wake at 90 because at 45 i roll right over the wake. I know theres a lot of topics on how to get more pop but i think i'm getting a good amount but i want to know how to make it so i get the same amount at the 45 degrees everyone else goes at. and what is the difference between hitting the wake at 90 vs 45?

diffrent boards have diffrent angles they hit best at.. the absolute is more of a slow boad so around 45 is desirable.. my subjekt pops best around 70, you just gotta figure it out
