isn't that a duck tack without changing the feet, essentially ending up toeside going the other way?

like stars said a 360 he isn't changing direction tacking or gybing, just doing a very nice circle.

Laughingman is right.

Laughingman is right.
Hmmm, if so, it was not "clean"....

He performs a perfect 360 in the video, continuing on the same tack.

If you have seen something different just after this shot - he has made another turn to get toeside, not in doubt at all :thumb: (have seen loads of 360's and 180's)

Or you could simply show us the full clip, could be really interesting ?

8) PF

PS: An upwind 180 looks like this, at 1:38 and 1:50 f.ex where you can see the distinct difference in how your body and lines end up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I-RVhPq4Zo
