wake2wake question

I've riden lots behind a seadoo and am now riding more boat. I'm finding that in my heelside w2w, the board almost goes vertical. To much weight on my back foot or something. When I land on the down wake its on the tail of the board.

what can I do to fix this?

thnx

jmar, focus on leaning forward as you hit the wake, which will make your pop generate more from the middle than the tail alone. Also keep your legs moderately stiff, especially your front leg. You're not ollieing, you're launching Wink

so treat it that way.

Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing. See i've never wakeboarded before, just skated, and behind a seadoo for that matter. I'm not sure how to go w2w without making the board so crazy vertical and always landing on the tail.

jmar, when you cut into the wake dont cut directly at it. When ever you go wake 2 wake you kinda gotta cut at a angle with the boat. Kinda look ahead of where you want to hit then hit there. Cut all the way up the wake when you reach the top push down with your front foot bringing your back up

oh and post this in trick tips

when ur in the air just kind kick down with your front foot, kind of how an ollie works, without the ollie part. kinda like a poke in a way not sure if that made any sense but good luck
