Hi, I've got the helitack down, can surf backwinded and I'm still working on my duckgybe and planing gybe. I'd like to add another move or 2 to practice though. Which moves would be good follow ups to those mentioned above?

I'd like to add some moves that I can practice during non-planing and moderate winds, because just blasting up and down then is getting kind of boring (I'm in boracay for a windsurfing vacation during the European winter season).

Any suggestions? I like moves that besides looking cool also are useful and/or adrenaline producing.

and a f#*k!ng god if you learn it without snapping a footstrap screw

Hi, I've got the helitack down,

Try an upwind 360, you can try them in non planning light winds on a floaty board, then progress through to planning in strap ones. This will help you to get to doing flaka's and other back wind tricks.

Also can try downwind 360's to improve your carving, this will also help your gybes and wave riding skills.

Started mastering the upwind 360 today, got the body + sail 360 down pretty much and the sail 360. That gecko looks pretty wicked, looks really hard... what kind of board should that be done on ideally? (my weight is 83 kg).
