I am really having a hard time with passing the handle. The only trick I can do is a tantrum because I havent gotten the pass down. Any pointers?

1st off, welcome to the Forums.
2nd, I know that you don't want to here this, but Search. There are some excellent topics already on this.
3rd, to be perfectly honest we need more info. I assume you're working on a HSFS 360, because that is typically the first spin people start with.

Now,
PRACTICE. With anything and everything. Pass a pencil behind your back at school/work, pass anything behind your back. Keep it at the small of your back and/or under your but. BUT the most important thing to remember is to wait. Pop, Pull, Pass. In that order, many people just spin off the wake, but this isn't snowboarding.

I think I just threw alot of stuff into one paragraph...let us know some more info...

the main thing you want to focus on when doing 3's is keep your head up and always look at the horizon, when you leave the wake initiate the spin and pull the handle to your trailing hip- that will put the handle back towards the small of your back where you need to pass it. Dont worry about the spin as much as the handle pass. The most important thing is to pull your handle in otherwise you wont ever pass it
