This is an elevated spin in which a paddler's boat is dynamically lifted and spun by the upstream water at the corner of the hole. The center of the boatstays in the same"sweet" spot of the backwash. Shown here is a Double McTwist, a linked retentive move.

1. Place the tip of your stern into the corner of the hole. Reach downstream with your paddle blade.
2. Pull through with the blade and look at your next move. Keep your head held at the same height above the water.
3. Switch blades and get ready for the bow move.
4. As the bow sinks, use a low left brace. Keep your eye on the hole.
5. The bow goes under as the stern is lifted by the current.
6. Start looking for your next move as you land back in the hole.
