The all elusive 360.

[BrettLee3232]

Well ever since Feb. 2015 I’ve been trying to land the all elusive 360. Well Saturday first try of the day stuck it like a 280lb version of Parker Payne. It felt so easy I didn’t know why it took me so long. Of course it wasn’t on video so it obviously didn’t count. Everyone on the boat almost missed it cause my daughter saw a butterfly and they were all marveling that the butterfly was going 10mph. They eventual caught the tail end of it and the beginning of my school girl at a Taylor Swift concert celebration.

Of course I couldn’t land another one even though my wife said if I can do another we can trade her in for a Makai plus a congratulatory BJ when we got home. But of course no more 360 & no congratulatory BJ. But I finally did it, I can finally die happy.

Love it! With all that on the line I don’t think I would have gotten out of the water until I did it again :)

If you're struggling with any trick video tape the whole set, then go back and review what went right and or wrong with each one. Randomly trying different ways only makes it harder you need to break it down from beginning to end.

Also, I find it easier if you mellow out the wave, a long shallow wave is much easier. If your ridding a really steep wave its easy to catch the edge when coming down and around. :)

[sandm]

tried for years to land one and have not yet.

someday....

[parrothd]

Can you ride healside? If you can there's lots of 180s that are just as fun.. :)

[wario]

Sorry about the no BJ thing, that’s easily the most disappointing thing about this post.

BJs aren’t real.

And you won't die happy without one.

Ha ha. I would have tried until the boat ran out of gas. Good luck. You will get it again. I did the same thing a few weeks ago without the camera rolling. Luckily I have repeated it a few times since and got it. You would think I would learn my lesson, but last week I got my first transfer...and no video rolling. Ugh, damn it! [emoji36]

Got my first 360, luckily on tape but have not been able to ride one out since. Didn't get a BJ for it but was told I could get one if I stopped talking about a new boat...still debating it.

[snyderaaron]

This is what I think happens to me. I come around and nose dive into the water.

Then you have to much weight on your front foot, try moving your foot back a few inches.

Always getting thrown over the top in the wash.

Gonna get one while on vacation in a week

Probably leaning back when you start the turn. ��

[Broke Pilot]

I still haven’t gotten one to stick. Come real close, but that Doomswell just wants to keep turning. I’m having a harder time stopping the rotation than anything. Lol
Technically I’ve done a couple of 360’s, it’s the 720 that screws me! I have one on video, just dunno how to post it.

Surf style? Sorry you're on your own.. Lol

No it’s the Doomswell Hybrid Skim. Super loose and a blast to ride. Will spin before you’re ready!
But if you throw the driver fins on, it’s a pretty good surf board.

[jmvotto]

Yup throwing it up the wave too high
Many 360 and 720.

Can’t ride them out

Surf style 720 mostly on skim

[Mgigs7]

Try a surf style board if the skim is too loose. Not the smoothest ones I’ve done but the only ones on video.

This is the kind of motivation I've needed. Fwding to my wife.

Maybe it's time to resurrect the old fart's 360 competition that started several years ago but disappeared. Think there was only one victor but technically wasn't an old fart.

[Prospersigman]

Define old fart...48 should count, right?

Anything over 40? I have been trying like crazy, but seems I have all the problems everyone else has. Turning too soon, can't stop spinning, dig the nose coming around, wash over the top. Maybe reading all the tips, it might all come together soon.

-It's your Moomba or Supra
-You probably spend more time drinking beer than at the gym
-You probably spend more time behind the wheel of the boat than behind the boat
-Video Proof
-Can't be holding the rope...

Optional:
-Thinning or No Hair
-Beer gut

I meet most of these , I resemble this remark:o

[Broke Pilot]

I’m not 40, but the others apply... lol

[trayson]

I'm right there with ya. I'd tried enough times that video wasn't rolling. But man, the ONE that I've rode out was amazeballz. And I nailed it right at the drop of "Mic Drop" by Steve Aoki!

I'll either have the tip of the board hit the wall and get ejected, or I'll get all the way around and be too far back to recover...

I find them easier to do in the flats, if you try and go up and down the wave those are much harder. At least for me..

I try and do mine in the flats also, the wall of water behind the SA is hard to get the nose pointed up without digging in

Subscribed! Been trying since I got the boat 4 yrs ago. Nailed one a month ago and still haven’t repeated. Oh and no footy so it didn’t happen...

Brownie points for posting ALMOST vids for others to critique, point & giggle, roll eyes, cheer on, sneer at, etc. Some of mine have been accused of being like a car wreck. You don't really want to watch but you can't look away...

Good God - this is one of my better attempts, however it's from 5 years ago. 5 FREAKING YEARS of almost... Think my wave has improved since then but my riding has not.

To be clear, you have only one 1" fin installed. The center fin.

Yep, if you ride skim you want a single small fin or no fin.

[trayson]

Nailed my 2nd one yesterday. But I'm nowhere near able to nail them consistently.

Many many failed attempts yesterday. But hey, it's "training" for when I can do them w/o thinking!

I mean, isn't that why I've been putting all those hours on my boat?

Oh nice! I’m gonna go do some ‘training’ tomorrow hopefully lol

+1 on video review
In addition to doing some “game film” review, I found this how to video by Conner Burns very helpful because he breaks down why some of his friends attempts fail. (He also promotes his new board but I still thank him for the video!):
https://youtu.be/s5OO9Sw9ReE
I’m just a 47 year old dad trying to land it before my 19 & 16 yo do...I’m on the verge of landing it. I will edit a video down and post soon.

Uh - I'm calling BS. Where's the rest of it where you ride away?

Landed one before my 14 yo, I rub it in every time we go out.

[trayson]

Call anything you want. I've nailed 2 of them thus far that I've ridden away like a boss and will continue to increase the tally as I do more. Heading out to Prineville this weekend. Maybe I'll have to setup the gopro just for you.

Here's the latest "almost"...just started attempting the last few sessions. I drive more than ride but have had some friends and wife give me some more surf time lately.

Damn! You’re really close!

Nice wave - did you retrofit the Wakeland system?

[no_hurry]

Yes. Auto Flow 1.0 then found 2.0 side tabs on this forum and swapped them. I’m about to install the 2.0 wake plate (longer by about 6”) to match and hoping it will help the wave. Lately I’ve been using the ronix wakeshaper and not the tabs which is the wave in the video with only 2 people in the boat (maybe combining for 325lbs).
