Anyone got any tips to nail these?

I'm heading downwind, sinking the nose, getting over the sail and then just falling flat on my face - anyone got any tips to complete the last bit? I've found that a smaller board (JP FSW 84 as opposed to a Chili 99) is easier, but just can't get around....

They're better on bigger boards 'cause you get the pop at the end which helps you round. You don't want to be heading downwind at the start so that could be part of the problem why you're not getting them.

Basically you want to be really comfortable doing upwind 360s in the straps. The Gecko is very similar except at the start you sink the windward rail deep into the water while leaning your weight way forward. It can help a bit if you do it into an oncoming piece of chop. Bend you legs and bring the sail in close to you which helps get the board vertical in the water but keeps the sail vertical so it catches the wind (if your arms are too straight then the sail will end up in the water). Then once the sail is backwinded then just do the same as an upwind 360. Good luck. Hope that helps.

crap, there is a switch stance version.
