What invert should you learn first.

What should you learn first? Figure it out for yourself. Are you more comfortable throwing a cartwheel motion behind the boat, or coming in toeside and doing a frontflip, or coming in heelside and doing a backflip?

For me, tantrum was first. TS Backrolls are really easy too so that's not a bad one to learn for a first trick but I've never heard of anyone doing it.

I'd say backroll or tantrum. They're just the most natural movements for HS, which tends to be the easiest for people to try.

Tantrum for sure. I know it may look hard or tricky because you have to "trip" the wake, but it really very simple, and it is a very easy trick to do. I landed it the first day I sarted trying them, and I think I landed it on my 3rd or 4th try.

Raley....No really, Raley's are one of the easiest inverts there are. Just need the balls to try it.

intotheflats, and also the most dangerous if you don't do it right.....
Id say tantrum. Falls are not the violent.
To me the back flip motion is easier than cartwheel style.

My first was a backroll so i'd have to say that is the easiest to learn. I landed my first one on my 2nd try. It took me quite a few more tries to land my first tantrum. Actually landed the first raley I tried, landed my first krypt too although it was supposed to be a raley Wink
