I cant seem to get my indy grab on my front roll I seem to chase it the whole. I my whole front roll 1 handed so I dont think that changing handle position is a problem. what have you guys tried to get your grab on?

what you can try, is, instead of tucking both knees and reaching for the grab, tuck only one knee and grab, then tuck the next directly after, in a sort of fluid motion. makes it easier because its more natral

Have you learned to grab a tantrum???? if so you must have figured out that instead of throwing the trick with your body off the wake you have to initiate the flip by bringing the board up to your chest to get the grab and initiae the flip. now with the frontroll it is similar principles but not toally the same. the biggest similairty is getting the grab first then doing the flip. Try to take the front roll more up than out. if you get the proper upward pop the board will get more help from the force of the wake pushing it up into your chest. Most people dont do this trick properly. lots of people will land it and mayeb land it every time but few truly surf the wake properly and get the right pop. If you do the trick incorrectly it is much tougher to get the grab. So think about surfing the wake and gettin the upward pop, then think grab, then think flip. You need to hesitate on the flip rotaion just slightly off the wake, just enough to get the grab, if you dont hesitate to get the grab you will do the flip and be chasing with the grab the whole time. basically think, POP, GRAB then FLIP
