it just takes some getting used to, but some things that will help and just making sure you have really good technique. since the force of the double up is so much more than the regular wake, if your handle position is wrong, or you let off your edge, it will throw you off twice as much off a double up than it would off the wake. i dont know if that makes sense how i worded it, if you dont get it, let me know and i'll try and explain it better

Slow your appraoch down. You will be in more control leaving the wake putting you in a better position to handle anything it dishes out.

The second roller is a bit more kind....

definitely slow down, and work on handle position. you can afford to take a slower cut because the wake is bigger than normal. as you get used to hitting them, you will be able to cut faster and harder.

Enzoborder230, You always want the handle close to you on any kind of wake jump, whether it be a normal one or a double up. Normally, the 3rd roller is the best one to hit, but If your just starting, then hit the 2nd, because It wont buck you as much. Don't let off your edge either, just don't cut out as far at first.
