Try giving the handle a tug towards your belly button when you are coming down for the landing-- not too much, just enough to keep you standing a bit taller. It looks like you are just kind of sitting on it. Nice rotation though, its right there.

man, you're sooo close. You're just barely over-rotating. Try taking a slightly shorter cut into the wake and spot your landing earlier. Once you hit it you'll have it down though.

Wow I can't believe you haven't landed that yet you are so close. You are overrotating a little bit and all your weight is on your back side, so you slip out. I think it is because you have dug in the front of your board a few times and had a few faceplants. Just don't be afraid to stay balanced over your board and have your weight even between both feet. You will have it in no time.

Push the handle toward the flats when you land. Every time you landed the handle was nearer to your back hip. It is so close though!!

Yea, your just a little backfoot heavy, you almost got it tho man. Sometimes if I over-rotate, I'll let go with my back hand, and slap the water behind me. not sure how much good it does, but it seems to help me. Just put your hand down on the water like your holding yourself up, and lean forward a lil to keep your balance.
