    Ok so angle your front foot with your toes almost pointing the nose. Your backfoot position doesnt really matter, as long as you can pop hard and jump at the same time. Now POP and jump, very lightly(if at all) use your front foot to graze the side of the board, don't concentrate on kicking the board cuz if you pop it hard enough it'll flip in the direction you want it to. Concentrate on getting your front foot and everything out of the way. Thats the hardest part. A hardflip flips to the side your front foot was on.

    I suggest you try do flip it more like a f/s shuv-it than more of a vertical flip. The reason being you can save you're nuts (assuming you're a guy-don't want to make any assumptions because of you're avatar) or a lot of pain doing it this way. I'm not saying do a complete horizontal hardflip, but more horizontal than vertical. Do you get what I'm saying? Also try hardflips rolling slowly fakie first, they are a lot easier to flip and spin (providing you are trying the more shuv-it way). I haven't tried them vertical rolling fakie so I don't know if it's easier or not. And remember to pull you're front foot up immediately after you start to flip it or else the board will hit you're foot.
    (I couldn't think of anything cunning or intellectual to put here. But that leaves it up to you.)
