ts backroll- over rotating

Today I tried my first ts backrolls but landed on my heels or on my back. Is there a way to prevent this or just practice and slowly adjust

Sounds like the boat is pulling you out of the trick. whats your line tension like after you pop off the wake??

I'm not sure but I think I just need to relax more and stop throwing the rotation so hard. should I let the handle out more so I flip slower?

yeah, that will slow it down, remeber to edge out on your toeside edge when you land too

edge all the way to the top of the wake and look for shore. if you look down at the water before you land, you will over rotate

thanks, i'll try it tomorrow. when I was landing I kept looking at my feet or the wake.
