I've practice re-entry before and mind u i don't know what I'm doing and have never taken lessons so.....when I did it, I actually reached under the kayak to grab the far handle and pulled it towards me while same time lifted up with my near hand. The kayak flips right over. Do u guys follow me? It seamed easier.
Was I doing it wrong?

I'm no pro either but that is the way that's always worked best for me as well. Especially in the surf zone where you want to get it done quick.
