Frontside 360 Slide

Alternative name: Flaka Slide, Upwind 360 Slide
Category: Freestyle
Level of difficulty: Level 3 (from 4)

Description

The frontside 360 slide is the foiled version of the jumped frontside 360. Instead of spinning the board in the air, you initiate the rotation with a carved turn.

At the end of the carved turn (when the tail is already pointing upwind) the foil gets into the so called stall (spin-out). While the board hits the water again you have to pull the wing through the wind. The key is to keep your body weight above the board.
