I got a great tip on heel to toe 180's last season, which was keep pressure on back foot. got those squared away.

But now....

Wanting to get my toe back to heel 180's. Can't get board through eye of wind yet. Back foot? Any other "ah-hah!" tips from those doing these?

Thanks,
Eric

Are you just turning or trying to tack from heel to toe? There are a lot of tutorials on youtube for turning on a directional. If you are just turning, I would say go with a down turn then carve hard pushing with the back foot.
