move back hand back on boom. jump off wave/chop/ramp slightly downwind direction. lookback in vigorous motion to your clew or whatever takes your fancy at the beach whilst sheeting in hard and throwing ones self over the handlebars. tuck up back leg. dont let go round you go
Well I'm not sure closing your eyes is such a good idea... when I was learning I did bail it because it's a bit of a head fook jumping then going into a head first spin. By looking back at the clew of yr boom it does two things, 1) stops u bailing 2) speeds up your rotation. Tucking your back leg up... well I don't really do that, it might help. For me I found it easier jumping of a wave, some say do it on flat water, some say do a chop hop.. but the biggest tip is sheet in, slide yr back hand down the boom pull that baby in and hold on, u will rotate.
There is plenty of info/advice out there and it can get quite confusing, a lot of the tips are unnecessary. You can simplify a forward loop into a couple of points.
1.Plenty speed 2.Slide back hand down the boom towards clew 3.jump of wave/chop 4.pull/sheet in with back hand
U do that u will rotate. THEN you can worry about all the little... make sure your shoulder is perpendicular to the mast foot crapolla.
Agree with Zed but would add "head downwind off ramp". Do NOT point up off wave until you're competent in rotating. (Took me about 2 years to figure this out when doing cheese rolls).
