In the first try you move your body a lot forth and back. Your body have to stay centered (more or less at least) and it is your torso and legs that should initiate the rotation of your boat. :)
Have you tried the move "leanclean"? Look up EJ's playboating videos :)

can get the boat vertical by skulling and rocking it back and forth. I just cant get to grips with this bleedin double pump thing! :angry:

Ive seen all the vids and it looks real easy but i was trying tonite on the lake and it was either a dodgy looking flat spin(as weve all seen) or i fell on my face if i "commit" to much.

Ive got ej's dvd, its practically worn out! :laugh:

Can do the lean clean, not aswell as on the dvd but its coming along.

so it sunk rotation and no forward/backward movement. got it. :laugh:

cheers

Try getting a few forward strokes in first to get momentum, lead with the head, instead of skulling think of using forward and backwards strokes a big forward stroke to lift your knee, then rotate your head with the back stroke. Turning your head helps with body rotation and will get you cartwheeling alot more easily. Also try not flatten off your edge as this will make the boat come straight back to the surface,

and practise practise practise
