i have always been partial to flat spins from toeside, heelside, and backside. I broke my ankle in april and just started to get back on the water last week. Now every time i go in to spin no matter what, I end up spinning off axis... I'm still landing, its just a weird change of pace... anyone else know anything of this "off axis fairy"?

I find that when I'm a little out of shape, and my technique might be a little rusty, I tend to drift off axis. I just roll with it when I do, but I wonder if it's just an arm strength thing in order to keep the handle in the proper position

I don't know if it's my balance, because everything else seems to be locked in. I think only time will tell though

yeah, It happens to me from time to time. I roll with it, and have fun. I'm having the visit from the oa fairy on my switch side, with melan heel 3's and 5's. They're so much fun!

its all in the take off, your prlly dropping one of your shoulders or pushing down on the handle or both.
