great video- I have been waiting for this one! these tips will help a lot. I have 1 question; if you hold on with two hands longer, will it make it easier to keep the handle close to your body?

[LearnWake]

@iandoveton Yes, absolutely. Whenever you let the handle out you make ur rotation slow down. Keeping it in closer & near your hip always tightens ur rotation axis and helps keep rotation speed. Two hands longer will help keep it in but might also open you up spinning Frontside which would rotate you mid way to Fakie or Scarecrow. You still have to let go with one-hand and move the handle so you can get twisted back to the Toeside landing position. Thanks for the question, more help on the site.

is this the first invert you would recommend learning?

[LearnWake]

@zev007 - Every rider is different. Usually people's first invert is the tantrum or the heelside back roll. This is mainly because those are heelside inverts (you approach the wake on the heelside edge). Generally people can get bigger air on their heelside edge, which is why those inverts are usually the first that a rider lands. The toeside front and toeside back roll are usually the first toeside inverts landed.
