Problem with a tantrum

I have no problem with the rotation. My problem is holding on to the handle when I land. I land on the board every time. Whenever I do concentrate on holding onto the handle, I usually throw the trick way too early or don't let go with my rear hand in time. Anybody got any advice for me?

Doing it on a trampoline with a handle a few times to get the feel for holding on to the handle might help, or if you don't have one of those around, just jumping the wake and letting go at about the same time might help you a little bit.

omreb, Pull the rope in closer to your body. That will give you a little relief from the handle popping out instantly.

You're probably landing with your arm almost straight out.

I agree with Oshensurfer

i used to have the same problem when i started doing them; i would always land the trick but lost the handle right at the end. i agree with Oshensurfer as well, pull the handle in closer to you when you hit the wake...it will be more forgiving.
