Hi!
I know I look like stupid with my HS 360 but I'm a beginner but I do a lot of snowboard and the second time I tried a 360 on a wakeboard I land but the handle quit my hand. I retried it for about 5 times but always the same thing... land perfectly but after a fraction of seconds.... the handle quit my hand and I continue to ride without the rope.
Sorry for my english I'm french and I try to do my best!

I am going to say you are landing with your arms straight and down have any shock absorbers for when the rope tightens back up.

Few topics on hs 360's,

But sounds like you just need to keep the handle in low to the back. Try spinning on a trampoline, keeping the handle in close. On the wake, get nice pop, wait a second in the air... then start the rotation. If you do the rotation off of the wake you will either do a big faceplant, a big off axis thing, or a big off axis faceplant Smile

Ya I agree. Keep the handle in close as you approach the wake. When your in the air, pull the handle in towards your back and reach for the rope with your other hand. Easier said then done for a beginner though. I had the same problem. Just concentrate on the handle pass and once you get it the first time, passing the handle shouldn't be a problem anymore.
