Help on landing shove it!!!

I've been trying to land a shove it for three weeks now and can't do it. I have no problem getting the board out of the water and spinning I just keep landing with my feet too close together and slipping out. It's so annoying cuz I'm so close to landing it. Does anyone have any advice on how to keep my feet farther apart?

just land with your feet apart like how you started the trick and use the search bottom

-=AlexXx=-, the first time i tried a switch BS shuv that happened and then the third time i said to my self do it like a normal shuvit and land with my feet apart. as for MLwakeskate, just really concetrate on landing with youre feet apart the higher you catch the board the easier that will be also if youre slipping out youre prob landing with too much weight on youre back foot try landing with more weight on youre front foot and not leaning back as much good luck

MLwakeskate, i know exactly wut your problem is, your sucking your feet up too early, causing them to naturally come together. try to float it out more.

yah i am landing prett close, but whenever i land with both feet firm ly on the board i don't slip out so its not a huge problem for me, jsut keep trying and spread those legs apart.
