Here's a video that shows a step-by-step approach. This is great advice if you're learning. One key point, which is not well taught, is to bring your mast to windward - on Kook St starboard looping (going out) this means bring the sail towards the right side of the board (windward). It greatly improves the rotation.

Or, you can just go for glory, take a big jump, sheet-in hard, and pray

I do often sit to pee. Sorry, a chance to hike and get some turns on the Beaufort range, some mountains right behind my house I have been checking out for 7 years, some guys from work want to get up there and I am going too. I gave up a shit load of good sailable days this year for skiing, whats one more? besides, I got out today and made some top and bottom turns.
