Rock spin

A rock spin is a playboating move similar to a flat spin, but the horizontal spin is executed against a rock rather than on horizontal water. This can be a gentle brushing spin against a partially submerged rock, but more spectacular rockspins clear the water completely, pivoting around one point where the hull touches a protruding rock.

Rockspins can ocurr accidentally, but normally require a powerful sweep stroke to achieve the spinning.

A full spin is also called a 'Rock 360'.
