Its called a Bel-Air

Bel-Air, fairly hard because you don't have much air time, but take a hard cut away from the wake and when you get 15 ft or so from the wake shift off your edge like you normally do for a tantrum and use that speed of your edge to flip you around. You'll probably have to land farely curled up.

Air Backroll- alot easier than the bel-air. Just look at how people do them on cable and then subtract about 15ft of air haha. Air roll2 reverts are the easiest air trick though. Start a progressive edge away from the wake with your back straight use your hips to lean back and quickly accelerate the edge into a progressive backroll and release off the water.

I would say the Bel Air is easier the an Air Roll, but thats only cause I feel way more comfortable with Tantrums then with Backrolls. The key to the Bel Air is being able to pop off of just the water. The faster you cut out the more pop you can get but you will also be more out of controll so it will be harder to get the pop. So edge out as hard as you feel comfortable with. It really helps if you can do backflips just standing on the ground, it will help with the feeling of rushing the flip and landing kind of curled up the first couple times.

you can also try it re-entry style, thats how i do it so atleast you have a little leverage from the wake

sounds bad ass but i am confused how do you get any air do you ollie or not and do you go away from the boat on your toeside edge or heel

heel side makes more since to me cause you can turn the board while on the edge and flip
getting the pop i dont get if anyone has a video i would love to see it

thanks

The pop is off of your toes, kind of. You got to like cut way out, switch your edge real fast and it will pop you out of the water.

as NorthwestRider says switch your edge fast. when i was trying them i found thinking about dipping my toes on my front foot helped rather than even with the pop.

gppd luck
