The Spock became a benchmark move in modern Freestyle. First created by Josh Stone, it this combination of a Vulcan and sliding Switch-Stance HeliTack/Upwind 360 will define you as a true expert in the sport.

The best conditions for learning the Spock are smooth, flat water or small chop.  Best sail size is between 4.5 and 6.0 on a Freestyle, Wave Freestyle or smaller Freeride board – preferably with a single fin as you start.
