Danny Hampson does it like a skateboard. The other riders I've seen though perform them a bit differently, but I prefer Danny Hampson's variation.

I think most people are trying them by ollieing really high then flicking the edge of the board down. Just try it different ways untill you find a way that works.

i tried to do a kickflip like danny hampson the first time i went out, and the board flipped right into my ankle. but i want to try it more than that one time cause i think if i can do a kickflip that i will like it better than if i were to ollie high and then flicking the board. or i want to learn in off one wake, i like how those look too.

Not that i can do a kickflip on a wakeskate but it looks to me to be a literal "kick" that most people do as opposed to a normal flick on a skateboard. I don't know if that really made any sense

SwB, the kick that you're talking about is the way kickflips were originally done on skateboards. As time went on the technique got refined into the more stylish flick, although when guys bust doubles or triples I'll still see 'em do it mob style.
