Everytime I do a back roll I can get it around it just i land on the back edge of my board or on my butt. I guess I have to much weight back not sure. Any help would be great

Hard to say without a video. But, it sounds to me like you're spinning them very low and fast. Pop them UP to give you more hang time and then let your arm out to slow the rotation before you land.

sounds like youre slightly under-rotating. Keep the handle in tight to your front hip to speed the rotation up, and you'll be able to get around faster
