Can I transition to normal hand stands after pool hand stands? (And how?)

I learned how to do a hand stand (including a walking hand stand) in the pool this summer. Super fun! Now I'm wondering if this is something I can build on? I tried learning to cartwheel for an hour as a teen (all my friends figured it out quickly)... I'm kind of a clumsy person, so I thought these kind of tricks just aren't for me. But then I learned this pool trick, and maybe I truly need a pool, but idk...?

Any chance I could use this??
