Stay tucked the whole time???? I can see how pulling the bars to my gut can help but when I kick with my legs and throw my head back it makes me stand

YES, pull like hell first and let the motor do the rest of the work, while you are tucked. Throwing your head back is one thing that I wouldn't even think about...you will naturally want to put your head back see water and spot your landing when you do a backflip...focus on:

1. SET-UP WAKE
2. THE INITIAL PULL
3. STAYING TUCKED

...and you'll have it!
