Downwind 360 (Advanced)

About this trick

The advanced version of the downwind 360 is about maintaining foil flight throughout the entire rotation — no touching down, no bobbling, a smooth continuous arc. This requires precise weight distribution, smooth wing handling, and good foil speed throughout. Once you can do this consistently you're ready to start combining spins with other elements.

Key tips

1. 1

   Maintain constant foil height throughout — if you're losing height mid-spin, enter with more speed

2. 2

   The backwinded phase is the highest risk for touchdown — keep weight forward and the foil's speed up

3. 3

   Use a smooth wing transition rather than a sharp flip — it keeps the foil steadier

4. 4

   Film yourself — it's very hard to judge your own height during the rotation without video feedback
