THE INVERT
The invert is one of my favourite moves as it can be done in various types of sections, with different styles and with many degrees of difficulty.
We can define it as a mix between a classic aerial trick and an El rollo. Depending on the section you hit and your technical execution, your invert could be seen in many ways. Let me show you all my secrets !

THE TUBE RIDING
Since the early ages of bodyboarding, the barrel riding is one of the finest, ultimate thrills that every rider would like to achieve. Let me show you the reading of a tube, the board, body and arms positioning techniques and the role of your legs at the inlet, in and out of the tube. To be able to get yourself into the heart of a wave, completely surrounded by water for a mind-blowing experience !

CHAPTER 9
THE FORWARD SPIN
This is one of the basic funniest move to do on a bodyboard and pretty much the first trick you would attempt on the wave or the section you choose to launch your 360.
From the first belly spin you execute using your arm and hand in the water, to the nice air forward landed into the flat, there is a big gap which we will try to analyse and achieve together.
