Answer 1

Practice ur flips on a trampoline with out the board and then when you get consistant you can either use a snow board or ur wakeboard " watch out for your fins " and then practice your flips on tht. you can even attach a rope to th end of it for practice. I use this method a lot for learning spins and especially for flips.  hope this helps!!

Do a lil homework first and see how the pros do it on the internet, then get out there and work on toneing you muscels in the right places  by practicing on the trampoline! (hook you rope up to a tree and take the fins off your wakeboard, then you really get the feel for it. Then hit the water and Just do it! Dont be scared or u will bomb! Just wipe yourself hard and show no fear! Hope this helped!
