360 -720 whaat am i doing wrong

[kite boardertje]

When i want to make a 360 i turn one round then i hit the wat a little wich makes me loose my board and make another 360 so it is actually a 720 half board off crash

What am i doing wrong in my jump??

Could it be the lift of my kite?

looks like you have to much spinning power.
For a 360 you have a lot of time, when you get some air.
Next time do the rotation slower, it is all just about timing.
Or stretch out your body after you did the 360, this way you can stop the rotation, when you made yourself shorter before.

Good luck

or go a little higher and keep spinning for a proper 720!

Try:

tightening your footstraps

landing with your board pointing down wind

turn the kite in the direction you are heading (or intending to head) whilst airbourne

thanx for the tips now i hope i can slow down my spinning by stretching

I think what you describe is the take off angle on your board. Which when tilted wrong your board edge catches the water ripping the board off your feet and making you spin a few times. Ive done this many of times.

I think the trick is to leave the surface smoothly and dont iniate the spin before you leave the water. Use your body to do that just after you leave then water.

I mean leave the water smooth and dont twist the board untill you have left the water and just roll forward with you body. once you nail it a few times and no how much you can tweak the board without catching the edge you will get better and and start doing more spins.

I think the key for stopping your spins is timming I mean rotation speed + hangtime but extending your body also slows the spins.

a perfect example would be in my ARC630 movie.

Thats if thats what you where having problems with.

If not practice will improve your problem
