Toeside butterslide

Okay, I'm trying to perfect the (what i think is called) The toeside 50/50 or butterslide..
Basically what i'm doing is trying to ride with the board facing sideways while i'm facing away from the boat.

I've done this successfully about two times and have almost zero controll as far as wake position when i do it.

Anyone have tips on where to hold the rope, where to look, if i should try this behind the boat or in the flats? I'm trying to perfect this before i go for a full on surface 360.

Any help would be appreciated.

i call it a backside buttlerslide, its called a powerslide of you edge out really hard on your hs edge and then switch it to ts, makes alot of spray if you get it right. anyway, i try to have the handle in line with my spine when im doing it, look where you are going over your shoulder and keep your head up.
