Beginner trick suggestions

Hi All,
Can any of you recommend any easy tricks for a beginner that might help me out once I get a lot better. I am starting to feel really comfortable on the board going on both sides of the wake. I caught about a 1/2 foot of air today, which was pretty cool considering this is the third time I've been out and been able to get up on the board. I would like to be able to jump higher, but I am not sure what to do. My boat puts out a decent wake so I should be able to jump higher than that (I would sure as hell hope so). Anyway, I know I'll get bored if I don't start learning new tricks so I am open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance for your responses.

I would second the riding switch. Being able to ride switch will open up a world of other tricks for you

Yes, switch. Switch gives the basic ability to do 180's and stuff like that. You will feel alot more comfortable doing 180's if you know how to ride switch.
