Bustamove, catch the board higher off the water.

doing them in the flats is key to getting them consistant. seems harder at first but it helps soo much with consistancy.

Bustamove, then just be confident you're going to land it. keep ur weight over and dont lean back. it also helps if you keep the nose pointed away from the wake just slightly so that when you land you can get back on that edge.

once you kick it and get it flippen roll your weight forward and you will stomp it every time

Bustamove, i don't know. Most likely but i'll probably be home sometime before that.

Sorry to hijack this thread. But i to have a problem with the landings. I can get em to rotate perfectly, but i tend to fall off to the right of the left. I landed on the back of one today and fell backwards. But i was wondering, do u guys cut out to your toeside or heelside and throw the flip? Cause i wanna try rolling my weight forward like what BIG shuv said. Just wondering, i am goofy BTW if that changes things (i doubt it but). For some reason i feel a bit more centered over my board when i cut out toe side, level out a bit then throw the flip.
Any help would be appreciated
