Trick: Toeside Back Roll

Description: Edging in toeside and rolling the board end-over-end.
The most important aspect of this trick is what you do with your legs. You want to rise (push with your legs) all the way up to the top of the wake to the point where they are straight. This will give you maximum height and allow you to complete your flip in plenty of time. This is true with all tricks, but it is especially crucial with the Toeside Back Roll.

How to perform this trick: Cut 10 to 15 feet outside of the wake. Turn slowly and build on your edge all the way up the wake. Because you have to build on your edge up the wake does not mean you have to edge harder. Just make sure that your finish is harder than your start. At the same time you're rising up the wake, push the board in front of you and pull the handle in close to your hips. Try to hold the handle there for the first two-thirds of the flip. This will help you maintain the correct body position. Then, on the last third of the flip, simply let go of the handle with your back arm and keep your chest closed or away from the boat. The tip of your board should stay pointing in the direction that you are moving. An important key to this trick is to keep the handle low throughout the flip, so that the boat doesn't pull you out of position. This will also help you rotate more easily. Be prepared to spot your landing and use your knees as shock absorbers.
