Surf style board- for higher airs

Hi. Been riding a Phase 5 Ahi for a while. Love the drive and stability, but can’t seem to pop very high on it. I know it’s prob technique, but I got on an Ashley Kidd board for a few runs, and thou it had less drive, it was way easier to get air and try to grab.

Any advice on board set ups to boost higher? Thinking about fin set ups too, I usually run a quad.
