i landed my first vulcan today after months of falling into the water in a twisted heap was a great feeling coming out of it !
for the freestyle sailors out there what tricks did you learn after the vulcan ? or even before .

What tips do you have for landing a Vulcan? What did u learn from your months of punishment?

- keep your weight centered over your mast base as you rotate and let the board silde around keeping your weight forward.
- dont land with the board sideways, you will just stop and fall off

(hope that makes sense to everyone)
i found i would always get my best attempts on flat water
