When ever i reach for the grab my hand never finds the board... does anyone have any advice on how to get the grab??

try to switch your edge harder and try to throw your knees into your chest. if you do this correctly the grab shouldn't be too hard to get. also go for the grab right away.

you actually have to look down at the board to get the grab on this one...

first few I tried to throw my head like a normal tanny and just pull my knees up and grab blindly - ate chit.

take a good cut so you wont have to worry about air and look down at the board.

Fauker, so i throw my knees into my chest but keep my head looking at my board?... would i have to cut harder to complete the rotation or will my knees take care of that for me?

a bigger cut definitely wouldnt hurt. Just open up maybe a little earlier to stop your rotation - once you get the grab you speed up quite a bit Idea

my problem was that I used to do big tantrums by just cutting all the way through the wake. If you wanna get a good grab you really need to use the trip flip method

good luck

Yeah look down at the board to grab it but when you feel yourself grab the board throw your head back.
