Backside 360 Handlepass

About this trick

The backside 360 handlepass adds a boom or handle pass behind your back during the rotation — the wing transitions from hand to hand behind your body while you're spinning. It's one of the most technically demanding manoeuvres in wingfoil freestyle, combining a backside rotation with a blind handle pass that requires exceptional spatial awareness.

Key tips

1. 1

   The handlepass happens at the halfway point of the rotation — practice the pass motion on the beach first

2. 2

   You must be fully confident with a clean backside 360 before adding the handlepass

3. 3

   The pass hand needs to meet the wing precisely — a centimetre off and you drop it

4. 4

   Commit to the pass: a hesitant handlepass mid-rotation is always a crash
