I haven't actually landed one yet, but have been close. I haven't tried any this year, i'll have to get on that. Anyways, biggest help for me was to really get into a progressive edge similar to a heelside backroll - cut away from the boat at the wake. I also found it helps to flip away from the boat a little to keep from getting pulled to revert.

Take a nice progressive edge into the wake with more weight on your back foot. The most important thing is to make sure you use all the wake and stand tall. Then just start the rotation by lookin back. when you come around and spot your landing pull the rope in if you are gonna come up short and let it out if you are gonna over rotate. and you might have to let go with your back hand to stop from throwing it to revert
