take a nice cut into the wake cutting harder as you go farther in and have your legs bent while cutting but when you get to the bottom of the wake start straightening your legs.

Is it true that staying on edge all the way through the wake is the best way to get the best pop. I see other people jump w2w without even trying, but i try as hard as I can and barely land on the other crest. What can I do to make it easier?

heres what works for me.

Cut out on your ts as far as you can go.

Drift out there for 2-3 seconds.

Start to slowly build your speed towards the wake. Don't take a wide, aggressive cut. This will make you clear the wake, but trust me, it's not what you want to do. Don't make a weak cut though either, make sure you build your speed as you approach the wake.

Edge all the way through the top of the wake, while at the same time, stand tall.
