I have only been wakeboarding for a little over 2 years now. I have wake 2 wake down but have not progressed further than that. Im 29, 6'3" at 195 lbs. What do I need to do to get ' Big Air" and I also have a problem with not keeping my board level, what do I need to do to keep my board level while jumping?

it would help if you had a video of your riding but your probably just off balance when your hitting the wake. you should pop equally off each foot at the same time.

Make sure that your holding your edge tight all the way through the wake..I had the same problem when riding behind a nautique i would pop off my back foot an my nose would shoot straight up...keep your knees bent and extend equally when standing tall off that wake...also you may be letting your handle out a little bit, try and focus on keeping it in close to your hips during your edge and also once your in the air.
