Bodyboarding Tricks?

Question

How do you perfom a 360 and when whilist riding a wave.

Answer 1

Well there are two way s to initiate the belly 360.  You can do this while in the midst of a carve.  Such as when you have already made the bottom turn on the wave and you are headed back up towards the lip  of the wave.  You make a deep gauge with the rail of the board to come off the top and then release the rail again to flatten the board out on the surface of the water.  Use the momentum of the big carve to carry yo all the way throug the spin and then dig a rail again when you've completed the spin.   Another way while riding prone ( on your stomach ) is to kick out a flipper to side.   As soon as you do this you

ll want to pull your feet up out of the water to prevent your legs or feet from draggin in the water during the rotation.  When you get around just drop your feet and legs backin the water to acts a rudder and put you back on the straight path.   Lastly when drop knee riding, you can very easily just drag a hand along the surface of the water and cause spin.  Otherwise the depp carve technique works drop knee too.   Good Luck!
