just remember to bend your knees to absorb the shock. When you land, you should also be edging about as hard over your heels/toes as you were when you first came off the wake. Keep your head up, looking at the horizon. It's a cinch.  _________________ The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.
