i'm goofy footed. should i be throwing the shuv more back with my right or forward with my left foot? i've got the pop and 180, but having a lot of trouble getting the frontside 3shuv to spin underneath me.

its more of a big exagerated scoop with your back foot. at least for me on my integ it is.

i can't do a big spin on a wakeskate but i can on a skateboard and i know it's key to jump where the board tends to go just keep practicing that

think of it as a fs 180 with a little more outward scoopwith your back foot. push your back foot down into the water and in front of you. keep your feet up and watch it and the catch it when the time is right.

make sure you throw it with only your back hand on the handle. it makes the body 180 happen without any thought

should the scoop be with the heel or toe of my back foot? thanks for the tips fellas.

fastgreens, heel. remember down and out. that will get you some pop on it and you will have more control. if you just push out it will spin on the water you wont have as much time to land it and it will probably catch and go under the water

fastgreens,

Kick her it your back foot..

Edge out.. i actually put a little more weight on my back foot.. get relaxed... right when I start the move i drop my right hand.. so my left hand helps pull my shoulders around.. just like on an ollie 180..
