i learned double fronts off my boner board last summer, scary shit, sometimes i overroate and get 2.5 and smack my face HARD on the water.

try doing a few big bounces first, and then on like the 2nd or 3rd bounce as u launch off go for the double back, but make sure u tuck. Its all about tucking and hucking

oh yeah dude fuck
I hate doubles, I always seem to bounce a little too high and then I hit my face too
eventually I just went for the 2 and a half. But yeah that's another story.
to the thread creator:
Work your way up to it. Just do a laid out back, then a back 1 1/2 and then go for the double. As soon as you get the flip set, just grab your knees and tuck up. kick out when you see the ground underneath the board. You'll enter in perfect.

tuck your knees up and commit plus i think its easier if you run, jump, 180, bounce, and then flip

looks like your having trouble commiting to the second flip. You just really have to go for it. tuck your legs up too. That should help.

If you committed the first time, you would have had it.

dude, not to hate but that is barely an attempt. you just gotta fucking commit, tuck and huck man. they arent hard if you get over the fear part like anything else. you will probably get hurt less if you just say fuck it, its only water im doing it than pussing out half way. just tuck and flip like no other and youll get it.

man i used to do double front flips all the time back in my day (yep claiming). I used to be on the diving team at my local swim club so i can do all the sweet dives. I think i might be able to do a triple these days off a 1 meter spring board. I gotta go to a pool and try it out

on a good day i can land a triple front at the pool by my house. if not i do some gnarly back smackers. so if you were on a dive team im gonna bet you can.
