Just read a post in Wakeworld forum, I think it's readlly helpful:
James will start at the back of the pocket, typically his rear foot is in the curl. Then depending upon the pocket length and where the most crisp part of the wake FORWARD is, he'll pump once or twice so that he can hit that. Some wakes will have a rounded face before the top of the spine and that isn't a good launch spot. Focus on where the wake is it's sharpest and most forward.
Then James turns up and into that spot. From that point on, it's a skateboard ollie. Pull the front foot up and push down on the rear foot. The height of your air is going to be dependent upon how high you can pull that front foot up.
At the height of your pull your rear foot up to meet the height of your front foot. This is where you'll want a board that releases well of the wake.
If you look at the trough in the pictures you can estimate where James is starting from and also get an idea where he is projecting off the lip. In that second picture you can see how James is pulling that front foot up - he'll try and get that knee up towards his chest.
[the post with some pics, however, becoz the right of the photographer, I 'll not post them here. I find a video in youtube, the performer is also James ]

5.12 長隆水上樂園
第一次跟朋友去長隆水上樂園, 除左舟車勞動之外, ( 即日來回坐車差不多要 5、6 小時! ) 感覺都好好. 遊戲新穎, 比以前海馬公園既水上樂園創新, 咁又係, 海馬公園既水上樂園都已經係集體回憶. 呢個水上樂園有幾個遊戲都好好玩, " 大喇叭", "大湯碗" 都好新, 有 d 離心位係估佢唔到既, 所以就更刺激.
不過除左玩, 有時睇到內地人同香港人既文化差異就更特別. 例如衣著: 香港人男的就著 boardshorts, 內地人就著超貼身泳褲, 有的甚至孖煙通等; 女的就著帶有裙邊泳衣, 最大的差別就係腋下的毛髮... 我想大多香港女仔都會剃掉腋毛, 不過內地的就個個夾住兩隻鮑魚擦出來, 都幾好笑. 我不是想笑內地人落後, 其實以前去海馬公園既水上樂園 d 香港人咪一樣係咁, 只不過潮流在變, 人又在變. 當香港人去到日本, 日本的人都可能在笑香港女仔為甚麼個個都素顏出街, 一 d 都唔識打扮, same same!
