Palau

Alternative grip change

In this palau (backloop spin), Sofia Ginzinger demonstrates an alternative grip technique. Instead of wrapping your front hand once around your back hand and then grabbing the front again, you can also grab behind the back hand. As you approach the landing, the other hand is moved to the back, while the front hand grabs the front again.

Compare this grip technique with the other variations of the palau. You can find them here: wingdaily.eu/wing-foiling-techniques/backloop-spin.htm
