The base rotates the flyer in the inside star position. When the flyer is perpendicular to the base, he places his sole against the flyer’s shoulder blade and grabs the leg that is closer to the ground. As soon as the flyer feels the sole of the base, she slowly starts to turn towards it, places her other leg in the hands of the base, and then lies down completely on the sole provided as support. The base also places his other leg against the flyer’s shoulder blade, thus creating the whale.
In Super Dave’s instructional video, he explains and demonstrates the movements in detail.
In this video, the transition is shown from a different angle. Partner Acrobatics
