Fontside Back Roll: Toeside Back Roll

Tips:

1) APPROACH is everything. Start at about 10 to 12 feet outside of the wake on your toeside, progressivly cut into the wake, board more on edge the closer you get to the wake. Be sure you don't bend at the waist or lean way foward. On most rotational tricks, the body position you are in when you leave the wake is the same body postion you will land in. For example, if you leave the wake with more weight on your back foot you will land more tail heavy, etc....

2) ROTATION - When you reach the wake your board should be on a pretty strong edge. Hold that edge and keep even pressure on the balls of your feet. As your board reaches the top of the wake the nose should be heading up and away from the boat. At this point, if the board is "loaded" correctly it will effortlessly rotate. Throwing your head back helps some riders make the rotation, but I wouldn't suggest throwing it back to hard if you do. I just simply look back and over my right shoulder (I ride left foot foward).

3) LANDING - As you are rotating make sure you spot your landing. Your landing will come pretty naturally if the approach and rotation is correct."
