well first of all your probably not going fast enough at the wake, cut outside about 10-15 ft and then take a good progressive edge back at the wake, secondly your probably trying to just jump like you would in basketball or something, when your approaching the wake keep knees bent a little and then as your riding up the wake stand tall, dont try to jump out of your board, just stand tall, and youll be jumping the wake in no time _________________ "This suit is really crampin' my hardy boys, and its no mystery" |

| well i would try to speed up the boat alittle bit. Also keep the rope in tight at your hip when you are cutting at the wake and when you do get in the are make sure the tail end of your board lands on the water,or else the front of your board will dig strait in the water and you will face plant or something |

| edge, edge, edge ! once you hit the wake, stand tall, dont try to jump by yourself. once you do that, you'll naturally get air, good luck |

Here is a helpful link provided by Wakeboarder.com
http://www.wakeboarder.com/display.phtml?a=50
Study it, read it in detail, and you will be set.
Make sure you keep your weight evenly distributed on each foot as well |
