also
check the drive steering tiller arm slack
( hold steering wheel, pull drive back and forth)
a loose or worn tiller arm will make the boat wander when you don't expect

also, if you cut across a wake at 45 deg angle, the waves cancel out. try it.

glad to see someone taking it safe, asking for advice, instead of throttle to the max

Sounds to me like you need to hit wakes straighter on.

yup, point and Shoot, dont roll over the top, 45* more or less, and throttle thru, not too much throttle just enough to make it thru without getting too much air.
