Just cut as hard as you can, straighten as you reach the wake peak and commit to the jump. Keep your head up looking at the horizon, and take the impact of the land by compressing your knees to soften the blow. Try shortening your line (rope) to begin with, this helps to get the wake to wake sensation, as you become more confident increase the line length and hit the wider wake!! Hope this helps, have fun!!

Sorry steepsand, cut as hard as you can is not the correct way. progressive cut is.
It is so much more sensible to get some initial coaching from a qualified instructor than hacking full speed into the wake with no knowledge of what is going to happen next, and probably ending up hurt.
