Learning the Frontside 360 in the flats - Tutorial Draft

 
A new draft tutorial has been posted...Frontside 360 in the Flats:
 
This trick can be difficult to learn, because it requires good line tension control technique, as well as good body position technique in order to maintain balance when spinning through the air.  This trick lends itself to some nasty crashes if you get too anxious, try to spin too early, and throw yourself off balance.  This is a good reason to follow a progressive learning approach and be patient when learning, otherwise you may try to huck one around too early and end up crashing hard.

The Core - Tutorial Updated

 
This tutorial does not describe a specific hydrofoiling trick.  This tutorial describes the basic elements for all hydrofoiling tricks.  After you understand the importance of these basic elements, you may realize “The Core” is the most revealing tutorial.
 
Why should you understand these basic elements of hydrofoiling?
 
  • To be an efficient learner, relating all mistakes back to the basic elements will increase your skills faster by choosing good corrective actions, therefore crashing less.
  • To be a good instructor, you can relate the mistakes that the rider makes back to the basic elements, and then help to create corrective actions for the rider for their next attempt. 
  • To be an innovator, you can build a new trick based on the basic elements, prior to attempting this trick, and then determine its potential only after a few attempts.
