Check out these articles, the great thing about both of these tricks is that you can work on them in flatwater (helps a lot). If you have any questions after you check out the articles, let me know.

hey man when you are loading up for your front loop try to stand on your pegs and then like when yoou come to the top of the water try to load up and just go with it with everything you got.
try it man good luck on this trick tell me when you get it.

I've got the kartwheels down on flatwater and in the hole is still being worked on but its coming along and loops are very close also, but i can't balance long enough in flatwater to complete the loop in the hole i've done maybe 1.5 loops (the .5 is because it doesn't count unless some else is there to see it) but its been pretty cold so i haven't been gettin out as much as i should be.

Sweet, it's good to hear things are coming along. Here's another loop suggestion. When you are loading the loop (ie standing on your foot pegs) reach for the sky as your exits the water, the loop will get higher and you will be prepped for a more powerful "snap" with your body.
Good Luck!
