Downwind 360

Foiling a full circle

The downwind 360 is initiated like a race jibe until the wind pushes against the wing from above. As you do this, you can lean into the wind and use the wind pressure to maintain speed.

Hold the wing back and rotate the lower wingtip backward as well. This allows you to maintain control and use the forward momentum to luff up.

You can re-angle the wing properly relatively early to use the wind pressure for the final meters of the turn.
