Double Forward

The double forward with Philip Köster

A perfectly rotated double forward from Philip Köster. The slow-motion shot from the World Cup on Sylt shows a perfect execution of the double forward rotation. Quickly rotated and clean landing.

The perspective of the shot is ideal for understanding the motion sequence in detail. Here you can see a slideshow and a video of the double forward.

Philip grabs the boom far back with his sail hand before take-off and initiates the first rotation as soon as he takes off. Lift the windward edge, push the sail forward and compress the body - this creates the momentum.

The first rotation is already completed at the highest point of the flight path. Keep your eyes on the direction of rotation and pull your back hand closer again. The altitude of the jump is sufficient to complete the second rotation. Open the sail to land. Done.
