As the topic states, here of late, when I am cutting back in towards the wake hs, I am having a McNasty problem with losing all tension in the line. As in, the rope touches the water, for a good bit. I ride at 65' off an i/o with no tower. Never has this been much of a problem before, or atleast the last 6 years I have been riding. Just sort of a new problem. It has limited me as to how much I can do. I dont dare throw anything inverted at the moment, because the boat just yanks me forward around the crest of the wake. So, any help would be appreciated!

I forgot to mention... Blue Blazer line so the problem isnt with the rope stretching... It has to be in my form, but yesterday we forgot the video camera so naturally I couldnt watch it and fix it, so its up to you fellows!

When you cut out TS in order to edge back in HS, make sure you are coasting long enough so that the boat actually starts the edge for you, and just build your edge from there. Make sure you aren't charging the wake either.

I spoke it over with some other guys at this camp I am working... And we all agree, that I am charging this wake far to hard... I feel as though, I am starting my edge far to quick, just because I am on this i/o at the moment, thus making me mentally think that I have to get more speed... Hell, I dont even have a tower on this boat at the moment. But yeah, I think I will just slow it down a bit, and see what I can do!
