Hey there, is that a ts frontroll or true frontflip? A frontroll is edge over edge, a frontflip is a bit more tricky, as it is tip over tail. If you have a ts frontroll, then a scarecrow would be cake for you. Ride up to the wake on the same edge as a frontroll, sorta "trip" over the wake, letting your board fly up over you just like a frontroll. When you have left the wake, push your back shoulder down and try to lick the back of your neck. (I know, kinda wierd, but you have to really turn your head to spot the water). Pull the handle to your back hip and look for water, once you spot the water, finish the rotation and land. Oh yeah, smile.
Also work on doing blind tricks. Try some blind 180s. In my opinion a smooth, stalled out grabbed blind 180 or 360 looks awesome.
Or you can always try to do the same stuff switch. Lots of people don't consider a trick "learned" unless you can do it regular and switch.

Brent,
The Tiffinator is right. Go for a scarecrow. I think scarecrows are way easier to land than front rolls. They are just a bit tricky to visualise at first. I would offer a slight variation to the Tiffinator's advice though. Take off like you would a front roll, but put your chin toward your leading armpit, instead of in your chest, like you would on a front roll. As you come out of the flip, look at the boat and pull the handle in with both hands. Also, try hs front flips and learn all your basics switch. Good luck.
