Still having air problems

[geovex]

Hey, I've been researching and practicing and I'm still having alot of trouble getting more than 3-4ft of air. I'm trying to get up to a comfortable height so I at least have enough time to make a grab. I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. Just for reference, the board I'm using is a LF Bonifay, so I know its not the board, its all rider error I'm sure. Anyways, I've been trying to progressive edge and all and standing tall, and pulling the rope to me, but I dont think I quite understand "progressive edging" fully. I've read the tips here and watched the vids but to no avail. Also I've heard alotta talk about loading the line and pop from the wake; what is all this? When they're saying pop, should it be a pop or abrubt hit on the wake or what? Can someone with some experience help me get my board up and level??? Thanx guys.

3-4 ft of air should be enough to do a grab. One thing to remember bring the board to u. dont reach down to the board. maybe that is why you r not lvling out in the air.

if you're just now starting to pop, not even to grabs.. then why in holy hell are you on a pro model board? not only that, the HARDEST board to ride from LF.... ?

I donno that starting big when you're small such a bad thing. He'll get used to the board it's not like the board will tempt him to do 7's and tantrums and rallies just starting out. though its a lot like a manual transmission

You should be at your fastest when you reach the crest of the wake. Never flatten out your board, and stand tall right before you hit the crest.

just use a progresive edge all ull get big height and control in the air. plus 3-4 feet is enough to grab
