Just reverse the order of the clips and you'll have progressed instead of regressed.

You should speed the boat up, it looks like you're struggling just carving around because you're dragging through the water.

its not the speeding up, its just keeping a consistant speed, no offense but if that was my driver i would ask kindly to get a new one, it looked like your speed ranged from about 15 to 25 which is unacceptable in wakeboarding if you are trying to progress, a good driver IMO can keep me between 22.5 and 23... that said, when you pop make sure you keep the handle down and in towards your waist so you dont get pulled off axis
