The Air Roll Spin


This is where your spin technique starts to really Ucount. Approach a launchable section, preferably right where the lip begins to throw, and aim for the sweet spot. As you hit the lip, you should be going for as much air as you can and beginning to roll. With the right amount of extension and speed about halfway into your roll, you have to start thinking about spinning. Your momentum should carry you into the spin. With proper body positioning throughout, you must stay centred with your legs crossed and up.

Your mission now is to land it. If you can do a full rotation in the air, you have busted the move to technical perfection. However, if you are forced to land midcycle, finish the rotation in the whitewater or on the face. The secret to this trick is to keep it smooth and one fluid action. Once you have pulled this, you're ready for anything.

Jeff Hubbard Hailing from the Outer Islands of Hawaii, Jeff is the one of the most explosive riders in bodyboarding at present. Hubby loves nothing more than busting the fattest airs imaginable. A product of Eppo's school of aerial acrobatics, he is taking fly time to another level. He even has a spin roll move named after him.
