Standard Helicopter Tack

The Standard-Heli-tack was first performed in the later part of the Jurassic period and, as a ritual to the glorious history of windsurfing, most sailors are indoctrinated into freestyle by attempting this trick first. But make no bones about it; this little bugger of a move can be very challenging as the sailor tries to figure out the changes in backwind pressure, followed by some fancy footwork, and a sail rotation that can throw them off the board.
