Front to Back

Frontflip into Backloop

Front to back: Malo Guenole already showed a combination trick for wing foiling in 2021, which consists of a combined front and backside rotation.

After a quickly rotated frontflip, which is jumped a little more into the wind, Malo reaches the exact flying position that is familiar from the second flight phase of a backloop.

The wing held laterally during the flip (body under one side of the wing) provides further momentum for the rotation around the vertical axis due to the wind powering the wing from the other side. A pretty crazy move.
