I have landed a few toeside wake 2wakes and a few w2w 180s at 65 ft. The problem is people keep telling me for toeside i dont need to pop just need proper technique. Well its not working and i need to know how to get higher? At 70ft a land on the other wake so hard there is know way to land it. How can i get higher? POP? and when i land i slide out easily. I let go with one hand and really concentrate on staying on an edge but it just isnt working. Any help would be great!! Sorry its such a long read.

put more weight on your back maybe not sure about the landing but when you are cutting in lean against the boat as if you are trying to stop it with your arms extended towards the boat.

Kind of act like your leaning away from the boat. This keeps the weight a bit on the back foot. Keep the handle tight on your leading hip. Use a progressive edge coming into the wake, and go for it. And hold on to the rope, that always helps

concentrate on putting pressure on your back arm and lean away from the boat. Keep that handle in close to your front hip.l

depends on what you mean by pop?

you need to straighten your knees when you hit the peak of the wake, so you won't absorb it all. Make sure you are staying on edge.

also don't lean your body too much to your toes, you should just have your knees rolled forward, and then straighten them.

AbsoluteRida, im having the same trouble, some guy gave me a tip that has helped so far which is to pull your front arm, for me left, close to your chest. It helps you get more leverage.

get used to edging out to do a heelside jump and get the feel like that because that is about the exact same thing as edging in toeside. bend your knees a bit and let off your knees to get higher knto the air and bend your knees back for landing

Make sure you dont come in to crouched over t/s.And make sure you keep a tall back .Keeping a taller back should give you better pop
