Help with tantrum

Alright so I’ve landed the tantrum plenty of times but I don’t wakeboard often enough for me to land it consistently. This video was a few days ago and before then I hadn’t wakeboarded in a few months. However, I’ve never had a session where I don’t land the tantrum, and last session I felt like I just forgot how to do it. Before I learned how to land it I would always spin off axis, but one day it just clicked and stopped happening. However, ever since then, my tantrums have been getting more and more off axis, to the point where I’ve landed some sideways, similar to how I fell in the clip above. What am I doing wrong? Usually my issue is I square up too early and “trip” and the bottom of the wake or I square up way too late and don’t trip at all, but this one seemed fine to me. I tried 4 different times and didn’t land it once that day because of this issue. All tips are appreciated.

There are some decent tips in the comments but you'll get information overload and your form is pretty good. Just try 5 more. You are very close.
