Jumping help
 
I tried to search this but I couldnt really find much because Im not exactly sure what to search. But I am a pretty experienced rider with a couple of inverts and a heeliside 360 under my belt but I am still having trouble staying on axis on some of my jumps.

Basically, about every other jump, i will get pretty off axis and my board gets almost perpendicular to the water and it throws me off balance quite a bit. The picture below is one of these where I get off axis quite a bit. Does anyone know what could be leading to this? Any help would be appreciated.

Too much weight on your back foot when you push off the wake. Happens to me sometimes. Very frustrating!

Coming off your edge will kick you funny too.. edge through the wake..

Yep, too much weight on the back foot, try leveling off a little and throw in and indy grab. It will help center you.

Pushing off your back foot too much for sure. Keep the weight between your feet even when you go to pop off the wake
