Same issue.. Lots of 540s/720s..
Make sure to turn your head and look at the boat, this should help you stop rotating. Also, try removing the Fins or run the board backwards for a few runs. On my board you really have to edge running backwards to keep control which then should pay off with the fins..
At least I hope so, I haven't surfed much this year. When I do, I've been trying to do a drifter into backside180, and front side 180 with the board reversed but haven't had much luck..
Well,I have been trying,,,, think this is my 3rd official season of giving it the ol' schoolboy try and Saturday I nailed it and almost a second in the same set. I have been world champion at doing the 360 then washing out of the back but I finally did it, and it was really easy once I did. No camera as why would I want to have tons more footage of me not making it, but I did have a couple extra witnesses so I have backup...... I know, I know, no footage and it didn't happen. Now maybe it will motivate me to charge the GoPro and see if I can ever do it again.
Biggest thing I was doing Saturday was grabbing too much water to make the turn, I was pulling myself into the prop wash. I concentrated more on turning the board then just took a light swat at the water to speed up the rotation. It went surprisingly well and surprised me since I have done sooooooooo many only to come around and be heading away from the boat at an alarming rate. To be turned around, still in the wake, and surfing almost shocked me too much to keep going. It was nice to FINALLY nail it.
I am using a Soulcraft that my wife had made, surf style with the quad fin setup.
Haven't been out in a couple of weeks but I'm getting all the way around just not riding them out.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure ya are ;)
I don't really have any advice for the over rotation flat spins besides some smart ass comment about avoiding the jetwash.
Here is my attempt at a 360 after my third day of trying. I can pull it off but I fall out the back of the wave. Oh yea, I'm over 50

I have to start trying this.
Did you guys start out doing 360's while holding onto the rope?
Is it easier the further you get away from the side of the boat?
Had a couple solid attempts on Sat. On one I did a 540 and just about rode it out anyway. On my best one I ended up facing the boat and tried to pump some but lost the wave. I'm gonna nail it during my week vacation coming up.
Nice..
I haven't had the legs left to work on much surfing this year, to busy wakeboarding. Was on vacation last week on a lake (can't wakeboard on lakes anymore) so I ended up surfing a lot. Worked on surfing goofy on the regular wave and trying to 180 from regular to goofy and reverse and shuvits. Had a lot of close ones where I could almost ride them out.. Really helps of someone is taking video and make sure you have a spot/reference point I tend to over rotate too..
I have tried three times and sat , got all the way around in the perfect sweet spot of the wave, I was so surprised I put the brakes on and fell out the back....
new DW drone with the blackstix is awesome..
Should have a new board in a matter of hours. Maybe it will help.
how do you have your fins setup? I've never really tried to spin my Nubstep.Quote:

Sure hope this helps me nail it.

It will... :) I checked those out at the store recently, almost the same as move cove board, not as light but the shape is very close...
For whatever reason I have had more success spinning a surf style board with ridiculous big and plentiful fins than I have had with single fin skims...

Yea, I don't understand it but lots of people can rip right around on those. I always feel too "locked in". Maybe it's cuz I have to be so far forward on them and you need to be more at the back.
From the lessons I had last year..
Looks like your trying to start the turn in the flats(and actually you turn the opposite way first) with no forward speed.
You need to come in with more speed(you come in and stop then turn) then turn up the wave, spin around and back down the wave..
Make sure to start pumping asap to help stay on the wave..
I can't seem to stop the spinning part, usually spin around a second time and lose the wave.
I haven't actually completed one where I can surf onto the next trick, so take with a grain of salt.. :)
Read an article the other day that this trick may be harder on the Moombas.
The Moomba surf wave is more of a downhill surf style wave with little push.
While the G23 I was taking lessons on the wave was more flat with lots of push, I could spin around 1-3 times and still be on the wave...
So I just need to pony up for a G23 and I'll nail it. Sweet! Better go check and see if that money tree out back is sprouting yet.
Let me know when to be there!... lolQuote:

Sorry, but this is a ridiculous statement.Quote:

My boat and the g23 are very different, got spoiled with the surf wave and even more so with wakeboarding. Should've never rode behind it.. Just need to save up $150k...lol
I finally tried the 360 for the first time after being inspired by this thread. It was behind my brother-in-law's MC X30 surf machine (it spoiled me) on a Ronix Carbon.
I made the 360 but came too far outside of the wake to keep going so no cigar. It was a good solid one and only attempt.
This week I will put a Ghetto Gate on the Moomba and try with my lesser board. Great stuff on this thread!
47 years old BTW, qualifies right?
Barely, young punk! :cool:
No video? Never happened...
Here was my try last Sat. on the new Daniello board. Hope to get it soon.

Nice. The DD is a spinning machine
Did you get that 360 nailed at Lake Martin this week?Quote:

She's only got about 6-7 tries so far and is so close I have to think she's going to get it before the rest of us. Me? maybe never.
It is infectious. Once I started doing it others tried as well. I came damn close last week. My brother-in-law finally got it last week at the age of 49.Quote:

How are we supposed to uh "coach" you if we can't see your technique/style?
By coach I mean poke at, belittle, mock, point and giggle, trash talk, and show our true brotherly love.
Oh yeah, mock, point, giggle. By the way, what prop are you running these days?
I think berg is going propless.
Takes a while to get up on plane I'll give you that.
Boom!..
Was able to 360 about 4-5 times today and almost landed a 740.. :)
I have a video on Facebook, need to download and reshare for proof here lol..
I left my GoPro Sdcard at home in the computer...Argh!
