The main thing is wait on this trick. When I started trying this trick, sometimes I would flip before I hit the wake.

yea what britt said wait until the last possible second to square up. make sure your standing tall through the wakr too. you can lose pop if your knees are a little bent.

practice cutting to the top of the wake and then cutting back. This will give you a better feel for the top of the wake and get you use to getting squared up to the shore for the takeoff.

Make sure you are standing tall at the wake just like any other trick. This can be hard at first because you will probably be concentrating on timing your trip-flip edge with the wake. Also, make sure you don't switch your edges too early or you will lose all of the speed of your edge which will result in loss of pop. Swtich your edge right as you start to go up the wake, not a second earlier.

There was a couple of threads about this recently. If you do a search for them you will come up with some really good suggestions.
