Check the speedo w/ a GPS, shorten your rope and slow down until you get use to the wake. BTW, what were you riding before?

BTW....

Slow, smooth, pregressive cut into the wake, pop straight off the top of the wake.

I used to do the same because I'd wrench into the wake, slow it down.

Are you using a no stretch rope?

Two hands on the handle, and keep the handle in tight... you're getting pulled forward.

You are out of control in the air. hold on with both hands...force it if you have too. you are coming off edge and leavign the wake in a bad position. The wake your behind now is not very fogiving...I'm proabbly one of few , but I don't liek riding behind nautiques.

looking at those pictures above...your fundamentals are terrible. Go back to the basics...start with one wake jumps.

Just always bend your arms, it work like a suspension, try some different speeds, get a non-stretch rope, make some abs and just try a indy grab, maybe it's gonna bring your board under you (it looks like you let your board behind). Keep going!!! The idea to check the speed of your boat with gps is really good!!!

I've had trouble riding behind the new CC also...I think you just have to get used to the transition and timing the top of the wake that's all. Shorten the rope and slow the boat until you are comfortable going w2w again....then lengthen and speed up....repeat as necessary.

CC wakes are fun once you get the timing. And waving to the boat won't score you points. Hold with BOTH hands and keep it at your hip. you're just getting bucked.

relax your cut too. you don't need to crank into it at 90* to clear it behind that boat.

Three votes for putting both hands on the handle all the way through the jump. Get that down before trying any grabs.

CC boats are kind of like whiskey, not the most gentle stuff when starting out, but one heck of a kick once you get used to it.

Dude WTF are you doing with your arm? It looks like your waving at the boat. Reel that puppy in and put it back on the handle. This should fix your problem
