Hello. Was wondering if anyone had a few minutes to look over my pics in my gallery to see if I am on the right track. These were taken last week-end, it was my 10th time boarding. I can land only 50 percent of my wake to wake jumps in the flats. Can you see anything I am doing wrong or can improve on( besides the fact that I am pulled with a 17 foot Reinell with just a ski pole) Thanks.

Well it looks like you may be hindered by the location of the rope but from the pictures you look fine except for possibly one thing. From the board position I would say that you are trying to ollie off of the wake. What makes me think this is the how you are leaned back and nose of the board points a bit sky ward. The ollie will get you off balance and make it harder to land. If you aren't ollieing then I just say go make some friend with a better boat.

you have too much weight on your back foot and i think you are letting th handle out upon landing and getting pulled over. really keep that handle into your waist and have a 60 40 rear to front foot wieght ratio.
