Does anyone have any suggestions of how to keep a flatwater cartwheel going?
I can get the boat around 360 degrees but can't seem to get enough momentum to bury the bow a second time.

you might try making your edge transition earlier, if you wait too long, it can kill your momentum. also keep turning your head, your body will follow your head and shoulders.
good luck

twisting your body around to the water when you are on your stern might help. you pretty much want to be set up for the next end when you other end id in the water. so if you are on your stern, you should be setup, or pretty close to set up for your bow. also, look to where you want to be, not where you are. always spoy your "landing" if you start doing that now, it will help you in the future. one last thing, dont cross your paddle over when you are doing your off side. it will throw you off balance. hope some of this helps --- joey
