can you find a video that isn't sideways?

you have too much weight on your back foot.

you need to pop, then pull.

can you do surface 3's?

i tried to rotate it, but it keeps going back sideways. I've never tried to do surface 3's. But i can do 1 wake, ollie, and surface 180s

That 2nd 360 was like a 280.
Concentrate on the handle pass and then the pass should pull the 2nd 180 around.

yeah just remember...pop, pass, pull - the 3 will come around as long as you get the handle pass, dont worry too much about the spinning part.

Just concentrate on grabing the handle nothing else. If u grab the handle u will rotate.

MinnesotaBoarder is right, getting the handle in the other hand will get you around, but that shouldn't be your only focus. In your first video, you spun too early, which is why you kinda went out of control. You just need enough edge to clear the wake, and make sure you've completely left the water before you snap the handle to your back hip.

Another thing that helped me with grabing the handle was doing surface 360s with a knee board. Just spin around and around over and over. It worked for me.

What you're doing wrong is the edge...
The key of spins is the edge...
You cut too hard and then you flatten off.
Do a pop edge in more seated position (you must feel that you don't have too much line tension during the edge), then pop at the wake, wait and spin.
Spinning on axis is very easy when you do the right edge...
