I love the expression on your diving buddies face.
Kudos to him for tracking down your leg.

If you don't know how to load and pop then learn that first. It is crucial for any trick.

To load and pop you need a moderate speed where you can control your edge and enough power not kill all your speed as you load the kite. Once you have that you want to let off your edge and flatten out your board. This will do 2 things drop the kite deeper in the window (this is important) and give you more speed in to your edge. When you start your edge to pop the kite will surge forward generating a more powerful pop. You need a quick strong edge upwind. To do your back roll all you have to do is keep edging off your back foot and look over your leading shoulder behind you. Just keep looking for the water spot your landing and absorb it with your legs.

You tube or google some videos so you can see how to do it.
