The next thing is bigger waves.
Also, cartwheels are easier in surf than on flat water.

You're absolutely right there Simon. I got my first (and I think anyone in the world's ever first) aerial donkey-am right down in Lahinche on a small 22' wave. The key is just to commit to it. Commit commit commit.

However, on the note of Surfers and Kayakers..why not just go for them, get a good ol' fashion dig in, who do they think they are getting on the same water as us.
Dee had the right idea:

I find cartwheels harder in the surf than on flat ???  probably next thing to try is back surfing ( most people tend to be weak on this one) and then blunts... surf is without doubt the easiest place to blunt (once there's a shoulder)... also loops are super easy as long as its deep enough, and jody, you have a jackson, they practically loop themselves!!!

I like doing things backwards, sounds more fun.
Ok when i get a chance i'm just gonna hit youtube for some inspiration  ;) From what i remember of Lahich its usually pretty shallow, but looping could be a good aim for the weekend.

i think paddle spins should be the next step forward, personally i think they're dynamically and technically under estimated.

but in your case jody, maybe the roll  ;D
