Tantrum will be your easiest invert.. In my opinion they are even easier than certain 180's
Cut out about 20 feet. Edge in hard and get some speed built. Hold your edge until you get to the base of the wake, let go with your back hand, and square your shoulders to the wake. Wait for the pop, then go straight up, with your back arched and chest pointed to the sky.
People say that you get a "trip" feel. I really have never really felt like I was being tripped, but rather that the flip just happens real easy. Keep your lead arm flexed a little bit so that it doesn't get yanked real hard when you land.
Don't try to throw it or anything. Wait for the pop and just arch your back and take your chest up. The flip will happen on its own.
Once you start landing them consistently, work on coming off edge and squaring your shoulder - at the last moment. If you can time that right, you will get more pop. Speed and timing are key for taking a tantrum big.
You should have this trick no problem.. Probably take you about 3-4 tries max.
Peace
