180 and 360

Pronounced "one-eighty” and “three-sixty". Refers to the radius or degrees a surfer turns the board. 360 would be a turn completely around back to the starting point, whereas a 180 would be half way around. This can be done by either jumping the board and popping the fins free from the wave to kick the board around, or by steering the board around (also called a "power 360"), which usually requires a larger wave surface to complete.
