Well,

from someone who tries a backroll every session, I found that if you edge through the wake, make sure to look over your lead shoulder, and keep both hands on the rope, you will get closer to landing them.... i have been riding for a total of 2 months, and I have landed on my board I would say about 40 percent of the time. My problem is that i slide out the other 60 percent but only when i charge the wake at too high of a speed and my rotation is out of control. Ride your edge through the wake, and make sure your rotation is slow and floaty and it's almost like you edge the board away from the boat. this is my 2 cents from someone who is trying to get them dialed in for the last month. Hope this helps, and I'm sure more qualified people can better help you.

P.S. wakeboarding videos really help your technique... at least it has for me in the 2 months that I have been riding.

PeAcE.
