take a shorter and harder cut, as it is a load/release type trick. right after you push the board away from the boat to start the rotation, let front hand go.

whgen i do my r2r the only thing different i do from a normal backroll, is i push the handle to my rear hip as i start the trick. So right hip iiif your regular, left if goofey. Then i let go with my right hand as i come around (i'm goofey). Oh, and make sure you land over your toes

to avoid the faceplant option on this type of maneuver, try and look to the shore when you land.

alright, thanks, how hard is it to get consistent once you land it?

i find this trick hard to be super consistant. But once i got it dialed i'd say i have about a 80% success rate
