the 2nd and 3rd rollers are best. I normally hit the 3rd. To hit it, i edge out about 15-20ft and wait for the boat to straighten out. Once the boat straightens out I bend my knees and sit down low and take a progressive edge to the wake. Your edge doesnt have to be that hard on a double up bc the double up pyramid should do most of the work. Just sit low and sit right behind the 3rd roller and follow it towards the wake. If you do this, you should hit the double up perfectly and get launched. Some people say that you should just sit low and wait for the double up to come to you, this way you dont hesitate and rush it. It's really something that you and the boat driver have to do a few times to get used to. Go and teach the driver how to perfect the double up first, then strap on the board and try it.
