grabbing indy is probably the first grab you will want to learn. with your back hand grab the board on your toeside edge between your feet. make sure to bring the board up to you by bending your knees not reaching down for the board or you will end up doing faceplants. a good way to learn is to try clearing the wake with only your leed hand on the handle a few times. then try taping the board in the air a few times with your back hand. finally when you feel ready try and grab the board. good luck! i hope this helps!

I just got back from the water and made a few runs (Sunday is "family day" so I don't get in as much boarding as I would on "boys day" during the week Smile ).

I actually managed to reach down toward the TS edge with my back hand before landing a W2W though I didn't actually touch the board...yet. Cool Now that I've read your pointer, I'll try it some more next time. Thanks.
