Roll to Blind is a heelside backroll with a backside 180 to blind. It uses a more Mexican-roll style axis than a clean side-over-side backroll, helping the blind landing line up.

Keep the handle close and low as the roll finishes. Add the backside 180 late, pin the handle near the landing hip, and avoid opening the chest before the board is on edge.

Prerequisites: backroll, blind landings, backside 180 control, and confidence keeping the handle close under load.
