I know he might say that on the DVD, but I really don't think you want to learn an air roll before you learn a backroll off the wake...if I'm understanding correctly that you don't do them. Yes, it is a tool for learning good technique but you're just going to get very frustrated to learn them like that. You could try and a few to get the feel of the thing if that is less intimidating for you than hitting the wake, but air tricks are very difficult for most people.
