Tried a tantrum for the 1st time yesterday

So obviously I was nowhere close to landing, since I let go of the handle as soon as I left the wake. But it was still sweet to try something new and just try and throw it. I tried a few more that were way worse, but I'm ready to get out and try some more. Any advice?

Dude, I'd recognize that red vest anywhere! First the kicker and now the tantrum, way to step up.

That attempt looks pretty good, just have to commit to the trick. Cut in hard, flatten out at the bottom of the wake, square your shoulders to the wake, wait to through it till the top and hold on.

Sounds simple doesn't it

Also, it might help if you were riding the Natural

Right on man. I too just tried a tantrum for the 1st time this weekend. Looked pretty similar.

Like Jakober said, you really have to commit to the tantrum. It's really an all or nothing trick, which means cutting in very hard and getting that trip-flip edge down. That being said, it looks like you are doing great. You had a good, hard edge into the wake and you switched edges very well right before you popped. You'll be stomping it in no time at all.

Thats a great first attempt IMO. Much closer than my first couple tries.
