• With the boat speed about 15-18 mph, position yourself about 6 or 8 feet outside the crest of the wake about 1/2 way up above the water on the foil.
  
  
• Keep your body compact with both hands on the handle, elbows into your gut and shoulders square.
  
  
• Gradually turn into the wake, as you approach the wake crest lean forward slightly to "dip" the board to the water.
  
  
• Just before you hit the wake crest lean back and pull up slightly on your knees. Resist the tendency to lean forward or push on your feet.
  
  
• Landings at first are more of a recovery, using your arms and body position to regain control. Leaning forward slightly upon reentry will cause the board to go to the surface of the water. If you keep your elbows in and the handle down then you can extend your arms to help absorb the pull of the rope.

 

Variations include baby jumps, bunny hops, single wake jumps and double wake jumps.
