first of all how does an ollie work you just push down on your back foot and pull up with your front foot, but what does that do? second how are you suppose to land a 180 i get like 4-5 feet every jump which is plenty of time for a 180 and i get the board completely turned around but i just fall right when i hit are you supposed to change the way your holding the rope or somthing, and is it possible to get a tower or pylon or somthing on a four-wins deck boat that someone can send me a link to? thanks

An ollie is basically you just jumping right out of the water. The way that you lift your feet is just the order that you should do it. Are you talking about wake to wake 180s or ollie 180s. The way that you do them is very different. You don't really change your handel when riding switch, just everything below your waist. Try surface 180s first to get used to riding switch. Learning Switch wake to wakes will also help. And I have also heard monster tower is a good brand name.

Ollies take a while to get good at. At first I could barely get out of the water and now I'm able to ollie over small buoys. But I think it will be a while before I can ollie 3 or 4' like some pro riders can do when jumping up on sliders.

And landing w2w 180's does require you to feel comfortable riding switch. Spend one set each time you ride dedicated totally to riding switch. It will be boring at first, but you have to do it to progress.

when ur doing a 180, make sure to hang on with ur back hand the whole way, cuz it ends up being ur lead hand... and wait for the spin, don't try and pull it right off the wake, or u'll get crappy air, just wait about a millisecond later then u would think would be the absolute latest, and go from there
