3rd time out. Get up every time now. Can carve, but TS is still kinda sketchy. Landed my first jump this weekend. Obviously from the video, I need to stand, but am i doing anything really wrong that I need to correct before it's too late? BTW, this vid was taken earl in the day. Jumps got better pop, but no distance, as the day went along. Any tips for TS jumps? i seem to have trouble pulling against the boat TS. TIA

Try to initiate your cuts by leaning back on the rope away from the boat. Do not do it by twisting your feet or by moving your head. (You did both in the video)

Stay on edge thru the wake. On the jump you fell, you broke the board loose of the water and slid thru the wake.

You are able to cross the wake in both directions. It is the 1st big step.
