Trick: Surface 180 & Riding Switch

Description: Rotating the board 180 degrees on water.
There are two ways to do this trick: (1) Take the fins off your board so that the board will rotate easily, and you won't catch your edge. (2) If you decide to keep your fins on, then slow the boat speed down to about 10 m.p.h. before trying to rotate your board. This will also help prevent you from catching an edge. If you try to rotate the board at high speeds, the board will reach 90 degrees and the fins will act as brakes, which will result in a nasty fall.

How to perform this trick: Now, to actually do this trick, stand comfortably centered over your board. Be careful not to lean too far away from the boat. Rotate the board with a push-pull motion using your feet. This is done by pushing your rear foot forward, and pulling your front foot back. As you rotate your board, try to pull the handle into your leading hip and remember to keep your knees bent. Now that you are riding switch, stand on the board comfortably as if you were riding in your regular position. Relax and don't get freaked out because you're riding switch. To return to your regular position, simply repeat this same process.
