Surface FS180

The surface frontside 180 is a smooth, continuous 180-degree spin on flat water. Unlike the side slide 180, this is done in one fluid motion without pausing at 90 degrees. Rotate frontside (opening toward the cable), pass the handle, and ride away switch.

This trick builds handle-pass skills you'll need for aerial spins later.

Key tips

• Initiate with a gentle heelside edge
• Rotate your hips and let your shoulders follow
• Pass the handle early — don't wait until you're fully around
• Practice both regular and switch surface FS180s
