Spinning while doing a flip or just spinning in general? Spinning is really easy to spin a FS 360, do a nice progressive edge towards the wake into a W2W jump, then just wait till your in the air (Don't start spinning while on the wake) Keep your board flat so you have a nice platform to spin on then pull the handle to your back hip to start spinning next take your front hand put it in the small of your back (keep rotating by looking over your shoulder) and place the handle in the same place so as you come around you finish the handle pass and can land non-wrapped. Sorry if I explained it weird.

I've been doing 180's a while and just landed my first W2W (HS FS) 360 a few weeks ago. Like ronix14 said, spin after you get off the wake, setting your axis is super important or you'll get pulled over yourself and catch a nasty edge. For a HS FS 360 pull semi-hard to your back hip as you look over AND down over your front shoulder. Looking down helped me lean away from the boat to resist the pull of the line.

The handle pass is the easiest part if you aren't being pulled over the line, i.e. see above. Just let go with your front hand and put it to the small of your back and reach around with your front hand and its there. After you get the handle make sure to keep spinning and keep looking over your shoulder.

The last little trick for me to get my first 360 was to make sure to take my back arm and keep reaching for the line after I'd completed my spin. Until I did that I just had my front hand on the handle coming down and either the handle would get ripped out or I'd get pulled over on landing. By forcing myself to keep my rear hand reaching for the handle I prevented either of those issues and landed as I put my second (rear) hand back on the handle.

Best of luck!

Dusty
