Backside 720

Double backward rotation with handle pass

Nathan Berger was probably a little surprised himself when he landed this trick at the 2023 Wingfoil Surf-Freestyle World Cup on Fuerteventura.

As with the backside 360, the back hand releases the grip during the first rotation so that the body can rotate under the wing, which is still flying in the same direction. He starts with the front hand in the underhand grip.

Nathan solves the change of grip on the second body rotation with a handle pass - he grabs it behind his back (blind) with his other hand and continues to rotate the jump with one hand until landing.

In these slow motion shots you can see the sequence of movements.
