How do it
The simplest 540 spin. Only attempt it once you’re comfortable with the toeside frontside 360.
1.
Execute a wide, light, progressive edge. You should be concentrating on how high you’ll jump and not on how far.
2.
During the approach, try to push down evenly with both legs. Have your arms positioned to give yourself enough leeway to pull up.
3.
Once you push off, pause until you've gained altitude, and only then begin to rotate.
4.
Pull up the handle to your back hip, providing momentum for the spin, and begin turning, with your head facing the direction of rotation.
5.
As soon as you've brought the handle up to your hip, release your leading hand and immediately bring it behind your back, to catch the handle as quickly as possible.
6.
Once you've swapped hands, continue rotation until your chest is facing the boat, then catch the handle with your back hand and prepare to land heelside switch.
