Well, finally nailed it - started with inverts and then over rotating them tucking more and going higher. Right leg has been bruised to 
learning the last 1/4 rotation!
Will get some footage from the shore this weekend - the onboard perspective is cool and hopefully gives others an idea what to expect as they progress with learning the roll.
While it's fresh in my mind the keys learnings for me were:
1) Get enough height
2) Throw your head under the ski to pull it round
3) At same time lift your right leg and handle bar and push down on the opposite side
4) Most important is the steering - you MUST feel a 'Thud' as you hit the steering stop or your not going round (on flat water at least)
5) Stare at the crest of the wave as you climb the face and crank the bars
6) The bigger the engine the slower you can go at the roll and the less it hurts when you land upside down!!
Enjoy!
