Backflips are way harder than front flips..

Not really. They seem more scary, but are much easier to do safely into water.

Agreed They are scary to commit to but easier overall because after the initial jump backwards you see the water from about 140deg all the way to landing which allows you to adjust rotation with your tuck.

Front flips you are blind for the second half and therefore harder to land well

So this is why I over rotate going forward and land on my stomach

Facing forward and doing a backflip is the least scary and easiest. This is why I always recommend doing a running gainer for your first flip attempt.

That doesn't sound right? Which minimum height?
