360 SHUVITS

Hi · Pop Shuvit Joined: 23 Sep 2003 Posts: 124 City: Jupiter

I need help! I can regular shuvit consistently, but, every time i go to 360 shuvit it either gets caught on my foot or lands upside down. When it lands upside down i think it hits the water and the fins catch. I cant do anything without fins. Crying or Very sad

cut out on your heelside real hard and right as you flatten off pop it like a normal shovit but kick harder. thats about all there is to this trick

would it help if you did it off the lip of the wake and did a renentry? cause i cant get high enough usually.

its not as much about height as it is about speed of the board spinning i think. you dont want the board being 4 feet out of the water or else it gets out of balance. try different things and figure it out.

I agree with Greg. I first started trying them as a reentry but found it easier when just cutting out hard and doing it as soon as you get flat.

Another tip, make sure you don't keep your feet together when you land and absorb the landing with your knees.

greg whats the difference between cutting out real hard then doing it, or just being outside the wake and then doin it?

yea seriously greg i know i ask you at least once a day but when are you gonna get some footage up

LakeErie, the line tention is different and the speed of the board in the water is different causing the board to pop out of the water differently. it actualy does make a difference.
stussy, as soon as my dad gets around to sending it to me. so within a month ill get something good up. the guy that video taped me almost doing an impossible has some footage that he was suposed to put up but nothing that good and maybe i can find someone with a camera i can use but there wont be anything real good for a little while.

I just started trying 360 shuvits and i just exaggerate everything I do on the 180. Is this the right thing to do?

I do them right behind the boat just outside my toeside wake, i have also found that my feet sometimes want to land together, but if you just really concentrate on moving your feet apart it helps a ton
