The 180 flip thing

[sailorstubbs]

I have seen recently a trick that the pros have been doing alot. Its a 180 flip around and sail off in the other direction sort of thing.
It can be done from a small chop hop and I was hoping someone would be able to give me a step by step account on how to do it.

are you talking about a Vulcan or maybe a willy skipper?

Im in contact with a lot of pros that I can ask, if you know which trick.

Ill try and describe it a little better.
starting on a reach you find a launch pad the rig stays at 90 deg to the wind as if not moving at all but the board and the sailor turn 180, land, slide backwards with the momentum sheet in on the other tack and go back in the direction from where they came, or back the sail and continue going backwards to continue into some other wild and funky transition.
Im afraid I dont know the name of it but tell me more about the other two you suggested.

sail on....

After the vulcan try the dark flip. Just throw a back loop in before the 180. Just lean back a little. Then again only two people in the world can do it
