Excellent. Thanks

You are an amazing teacher! I watched this video last week and finally got out on the water today to try on my 12’6” x 30” board. I never fell in as I practiced getting to the back of the board and retuning to the starting point…but I definitely fell in five times before successfully completing a 360° turn (I fell right after)! After that I managed to get a 1080°…of course I fell off after that too. Next step is to not fall after the spin and get myself back to the middle of the board.

So glad you found the video helpful and that you were able to get this technique! Jimmy Blakeney is the instructor, he's also ISLE's VP of Product :-)

Nicely done. Impressive rather than showy-offy.

[@Islesurfboards]

Glad you liked it, hope the information helps when you're on the water next :-)
