There is the URL for the video. It is a big file so be patient and its in slow mo so you can see everything. Probably better to dowload then watch off your own player. Doesn;t work to well with WINAMP.

It seems like you may be relaxing your edge right before the wake a bit. That should be your hardest edge right at the wake. I noticed you are landing on the back side of the board which means you are putting to much weight on your back foot before take off. Just focus on gradually increasing your edge.
