its easy :-)

all in the timing - just before the line tightens jump slightly forward and your away.

Your aiming to land on the water just as the line becomes taught

keep the handle low and at your hip. Not only will this make you land correctly, it'll stop you faceplanting like fother mucker off the dock in front of an audience. Been there, done that, wouldn't recommend it! ops:

... all th above advice is good, also make sure you do not look at the water .... look straight ahead at the boat.
