This is not so much a spin as it is a half-turn, but it still has the same circular motion so it is often included with spin descriptions.
Begin with the flag straight up and down with the silk up, right hand on the tab thumb up. Open your hand so that the flag rolls on the palm (counter-clockwise to the spinner) until the silk points down and then grab it. The flag should now be straight up and down with the silk down, and the right hand still at the tab with thumb up. Open the palm again so that the flag continues its counter-clockwise roll until the silk is up again.
This move does not necessarily have to take place on the tab. This can be spun from the center of the pole all the way to the tip and back to the tab, depending on the height and arm length of the spinner. One can also begin the flips at the tab and move down and back up the pole while flipping, making a good exercise to strengthen wrists.
The flip it stopped just by doing the flip itself. Since this is not a continuous motion spin there is no need for a hard stop.
