How you land on the other wake is how you take off from the first wake. You want to cut out about 20 to 25' away from the wake in one smooth motion. Then settle,no edge at all,till line tension builds from the boat pulling you forward. Use that tension and momentum to begin your cut into the wake. Slowly build your edge as you approach the wake. Example 25' out a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. Then at 20 feet a 3 and at 15' a 4. Once you get 10' out you will be picking up speed and line tension you should be at 5 now and get to at least 7 or 8 at the wake. 10 being you most powerful edge,which you don't need to reach for a simple wake jump. At the wake you will encounter force against your legs as a result of the edge you built. I liken it to trying to stand up from a squatted position with someone on your shoulders. You push up with your legs,forward with you hips and up with your chest. This with lock out your body in the standing "TALL" position.When you are standing tall you will receive the full reaction of both forces.Both forces being the wake{water pushing upward} you standing tall {you pushing downward against the water}. The reaction is called "pop". It's like jumping on a trampoline or a diving board. If your body is stiff [standing tall} when landing on the board or trampoline you get the best effect. If your knees or waist bend you don't get the full effect. Remember how you take off is how you land. So you want to be on edge and standing tall. You also want to stand tall evenly with both legs. Most importantly you want to bend your knees once you are airborne so you can absorb you landing. It's best to try this procedure over 1 wake first with about a 5' approach to get used to the feeling first. As it will be quite a surprise when you first experience real pop. Good luck and send us a new video with your progress.
