Hs off-axis 3

Now I think im doing this trick right but it seems like theres to much tension on the rope to get the handle pass, I can do the trick I just miss the handle pass? what do I do, what do i do?

edge all the way up the wake and give a little load by leaning ur shoulders back toward the water. when you release off the wake, wait to get popped of course, then allow your board to rise to waist level by dropping ur back shoulder. now ur ready to pull and roll the spin around.

keep the handle down low, as it should be the lowest part of you in the trick. wait for ur hips to go up and over the handle before you even attempt to pass. this is where i think ur getting the handle pulled away before u have a chace to get the pass. once your hips have gone up and over, there is reduced tension on the handle making for a simple pass.

also keeping the handle in close (no more than forearms distance from hips) will help you manage it in the air.
