Ok yesterday i figured out how to do a surface 180 so i was pretty excited. But when I tried to do a bunny hop, it didn't work. Should I try to doing a bunny hop or jump off the wake first? Thanks!

a "bunny hop" is not hard all it envolves is pretty much plain jumping

i would go for the wake jump

when ollieing lean way back on the tail (this generates your lift) then pop the tail out of the water. when you get good enough you can do it all in one motion

push hard on the tail like a skateboard and the water will push the nose of ur board up. then level out and land. i think u should ollie first cause its easier but u could do either.

i learned the ollie first. sometimes i put a little bit of weight on my front foot quickly just before i start my ollie to get a rythum.

or, while you are inside the wake just try to keep your weight on your back foot and start bouncing. once you are bouncing just try to bring your front leg up and then your back foot. and try to get your knees up high.

i hope that works.
