As with anything its because your probably not trying to land on an Edge, try that Smile

I cant do Tantrums but.... every that i've tried to do that i washed out on, was fixed by focusing on landing on an edge

Having similar problems and looking at the shore when landing rather than at the boat helped a bunch.

Do you ride finless?

It shouldn't make a difference but it is absolutely necessary to land on edge if you ride without fins

and keep edging away from the wake after you land...that should help with the edge too

I've been having that type of problem too. today i went out and tried my first tantrum of the year, landed out in the flats, bounced high, and then my board spun out so i lost a hold of the handle.... it seems like edging away when you land makes a lot of sense. thanks a lot

practice on the trampoline if you've got one. i didn't stick my first tantrum until a month or two after i got my trampoline. took me a while to get the guts up to do a backflip on the trampoline, but now it's to the point i can do them in my sleep.
