I’ll call it the Dwight 360

So I wanted to try something sorta new and remember Dwight posting a vid of his version of a 360. I’d guess you’d call it a jibe going right into a tack giving the 360 effect. I figured it would be fun (and not quite as challenging as the backwinded 360). Anyway had fun trying some today. They are a lot easier than a backwinded 360, especially when you’re seriously powered up. I guess if you delay the tack portion by a few seconds it would just be called a jibe followed by a tack .

Speaking of tacks and 360’s, pretty much all my upwind transitions follow a corkscrew pattern’; wide carve turn to start, followed by flatter pivot turn to finish. An early regrab on the wing helps pull the board around the last bit of the turn, but for backwinded 360’s and toe-to-heelside tacks I really need to finish the board flat turn with legs driving it. It’s hard on the knees!
