Im sorry if this has already been discussed but how do you ollie on a wakeskate and actually get some decent air. Ive noticed that most pros do their ollieing right on the outside of the wake, is that for a reason or is it just better acces to grind the wake after. Also speedwise, do you go faster or slower than when you are wakeboarding.

There are definitely people here who can explain it better than I can, but this is how it was explained to me.

You can ollie anywhere, but for the easiest ollie, edge out hard heelside and build up speed, then flatten out, "stomp" hard with your rear foot and ride the pop up out of the water.

edge push a bit with your front foot then slam on your back foot and then level off. Something to that extent. Experiment with it.
