The key to getting big, easy air is progressive edging and body position. Beginners often make the mistake of edging hard when they are outside, then easing off near the wake. Instead, begin with a gradual edge, then increase as you approach the wake. Your hardest edge should be right at the wake. Don't crouch as you reach the wake. By standing tall, you will transfer the energy of the board and wake into vertical motion. Keep the handle close to your body during the approach and while you are in the air, then land with the same upright posture you held during the jump.
