There's a pretty good instructional on this site.

But the quick and dirty version:

Take a progressive cut to the wake, stand tall at the top and allow the wake to "trip" you into the rotation. Hold on with two hands and move the handle to your back hip. Land it and ride away clean.

I kinda feel like a pop all with my front foot and bring them around. Although I haven't been doing them that way much anymore cause I like doing the 180 late. Can u do TS Fronts?
