I think your feet coming off the board is normal. I ride behind a Super Air Nautique, but sometimes I just go off the Sea Doo and practice my grabs off ollies. On time, I was olling off the rollers from my boat and I did a roast beef grab and the toe side off the board left my feet. I landed it, but it did feel a little sketchy. Hope this helps.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about this. I mean I'm not a wakeskater so I don't have good insight into it, but on a skateboard your feet generally aren't off the board unless you do a flip trick & then grab. If you're just hitting a kicker & doing a nosebone or something then your feet should be in contact with the board the whole time (unless they're coming off when you ollie, which would be another problem altogether).

i thin its because ur lifteing your legs faster than the board can come up . the feet thing always happens to me when doing wake to wakes, but im used to it.
