SPIN LOOP                    Rider: Jürgen Schall              Location: El Médano Bay/ Tenerife

 

1 Sail with full speed and look for a little chop, to help you take off.

2 Turn the nose of your board out of the wind immediately.

 

3 Now keep your body in a very compact position, close the sail with your back hand and try to go sideways.

4 Look over your backhand shoulder, to excellerate the rotation.

 

5 Keep the same body- position as in pic. 4. Try to pull the board under your body.

6 As you touch down, give pressure on the mastfoot and stretch your arms.

 

7 That was it!

Two very important points: 1. Go sideways (your body never gets over the sail). 2. Look over your back shoulder.
