Trick: Lipslide to 180




Description: Coming out of a Lipslide, rotating the board 180 degrees.
It is advised that you learn a Lipslide before attempting this trick. It is the exact same trick, except you're going to rotate your board 90 degrees into the switch position (versus back to your regular position) when coming out of the Lipslide.

How to perform this trick: When you are in Lipslide position, your board will be at a 90-degree angle to the boat on the crest of the wake. At this point, there should not be any difference whether you come down the wake in your regular or switch position. So, approach this trick exactly the same as you would approach a Lipslide. When you're Lipsliding on the crest of the wake and you feel ready to complete the trick, simply push your back foot (or the tail of your board) forward while coming out of the trick. Now that you're in a switch position, a good way to return back to your regular position is to do a Half Cab (defined later in the book).
