Is a move you can do in a wide range of conditions in & out of the footstraps. It is a very important skill to learn if you are an aspiring freestyler or wave sailor. To learn, it helps to have a big board and smaller sail, but as you get more confident you can mix the kit up a bit.

Popping the Board.

The first aerial move you are likely to learn. It is a great feeling to get the board in the air for the first time. Popping the board out of flat water is a great skill to learn for your freestyle tricks but it will also help improve your jumping for the waves.
