This trick is a flip with half twist, which looks harder than it really is. You just need to be confident with your back rolls, honest!

There really isn't much to this one, it’s mainly down to timing, when you should release your hand from the handle and turn your head.

You can do this trick be letting go with either hand, rotating either way, but I will explain how I, and the guys I know, do it.

If you come into the wake from the left side of the boat, with the wake on your right, you need to release your left hand from the handle. You should initiate your back roll as usual, as you leave the top of the wake and start your rotation, let go with your left hand and pull your right hand into your right hip. This action makes the half twist movement without too much effort. Make sure you keep your right hand into your hip to stop you being pulled over the back of the board when you land.

That's it, all you have to do is practice it. If you find yourself landing on your back, wait a bit longer before you let go with your left hand. This will make sure you are further round on your back roll and make you turn backward. If you can time it right you can get upside down and then stall out the turn, which gives the trick a lot more style.
