You need to square up more when you hit the wake, more than likely you're trying to feel comfortable and are not fully squaring your hips and shoulders parallel to the wake, thus, when you get tripped by the wake you rotate around to land in a semi spin.

What I usually tell people is to just look towards shore when you start to initiate the trip-flip, this will cause your shoulders to square up better and your whole body will follow.
