From Wake to Snow Experience

Hello Boarders,

I've been wakeboarding the whole season of 2004 and last week i took some snowboarding lessons. It went pretty good but I seemed to lean to much on my aft leg, so I had to lean more on my front leg to improve the snowboard technique.

Now I'm wondering if it would help me getting more air and control during w2w jumps at wakeboarding using the same technique? Because I'm searching for a way to get more air.
I hope I'm not the only one who has this problem.

Thanks

ride almost even on both feet, just a little more weight on your back foot, and make sure you stand up at the wake.

The biggest trick to getting more air is edging all the way through the wake. A lot of beginners biggest problem is letting up on thier edge 3 feet before they hit. Even if you don't cut as hard as normal and just cut all they way until you are in the air you will still get more air.
