This maneuver can be done on the flat section of a wave, in the white foam, off the lip or even in the air (air 360) You can do a 360 while prone riding (see picture) or drop knee riding. The technique is the exactly the same wherever you intend to try a 360.
You have taken off on a nice wave, made a good bottom turn and you are right in the curl of the wave ; here are the steps to do a 360 :
1. Start by doing a slight turn on your left ( facing the wave ) , this will initiate the 360.
2. Slide forward on your bodyboard so your face will be roughly at the level of your bodyboard's nose, the idea is to have your body well centered on your bodyboard so neither the tail nor the nose will dive off
3. Lift up your legs ( you may even cross them ), arch your back and throw your head on the left ; keep looking in the direction where you want to spin , your shoulder will follow the move
4. Once the 360 is completed , re engage your rail ( same technique as the Bottom Turn ) to gain speed for the next move and put back your feet in the water. Your first 360 is done !
