Basically all you need to do is not flatten off. The edge you have at the very start is the edge you want to ride up the wake with. You are very close, so just edge all the way through, really load that line and you will land it no problem. Oh, and hold on, the handle is your life line.

saw the video finally. looked pretty nice. as you already know and pointed out, hanging on with both hands is your biggest help.

i am only intermediate rider and it was difficult for me to see details in the video since it was kind of washed out. it looks like you might be taking your head out of the equation on the 5 sec. mark of the video... but then again, this is also about the time that you start letting go of the handle, so your head might have started looking in a different direction due to that. but either way, try to keep your head looking over your lead shoulder during the entire trick

the series pictures in the link i provided above show a nice example of this

hold on tight and good luck
