Downwind 360

Circular ride to leeward

This video shows how to initiate the downwind 360. The wing is laid flat during the turn and then held back. You can watch the sequence in slow motion here for both directions of travel.

In this video, the trick is performed while foiling in a small circle. A tight turning radius allows you to complete the downwind 360 more quickly.
