i dedicated today to mastering the helitack. today i almost nailed it!

normally i get knocked off the board as the sail goes through the eye of the wind and spins. but today i found if i let the sail powerup backwinded longer than i used to, so it pushed the nose of the board further off the wind my feet were in the right place and i wasn't knocked off the board.
question is.
is this the right technique? seems to work but i was surprised how far off the wind i needed to spin the board to make it work. i was wondering if there is any other ways to do them.
