That is weird... Make sure you stand tall and edge through the wake.

I've got a friend who doesn't clear the wake toeside but lands toeside backrolls in the flats. It's weird.

I'm not sure exactly what advice to give you though. You might be popping to early or too late. Too on edge or not enough edge. Try to vary it up and see what woks.

It's most likely your takeoff position when you're setting up that spin. You're probably standing a little taller with your shoulders squared just before you initiate. Try and mimic the position for a straight air.
