Where are you sailing? Easiest way to learn moves liek the flaka is a follow my leader style to copy someone in front who can demonstrate the move. Happy to help if you are down Woodies or Dutchies way!
P.S. Find it is easiest to keep the rotation direction the same, so if you like spock on Port then you're rotating to the left, hence flaka to the left has you on Starboard. But as mentioned earlier go with what feels natural, also somewhat dictated by the spot, heading out with small chop or ramps can be easier than dead flat water to give you a little pop boost.


Might take you up on that when the seabreeze becomes a bit more consistent.

I can Vulcan and Spock on port tack but not starboard. I am the same feel it should be easier on starboard but I struggle popping board on starboard, too much jumping only on port!!
someone that can do them told me best to try doing the flaka on the preferred side so port.

sorry doesn’t really answer your question but also interested to hear responses.
