Description

The frontside 360 is a 360 degree body, board and wing rotation jumped into the windward direction. The complete rotation of this trick is ideally performed entirely in the air.

To perform this move, however, it is enough to turn the board in the air by a little more than 180 degrees. You then land tail first and perform the rest of the turn as a slide, to complete the circle.

Tip: the tweaked jump is a good preliminary practice for the frontside 360.
