 |
|
I see a lot of people including the phrase "edging through the wake" when offering advice to someone on getting more pop/air/jumping wake to wake, etc...
I think I have an idea what this means, but could someone describe it in detail please. Thanks in advance.

It means don't flatten out your board when your coming into the wake. Pretty much stay on your hard edge all the way through the top of the wake into the pop because when you flatten out you loose speed and momentum while if you edge through the wake you keep gaining more and more speed completing what's known as a progressive edge.
