Spin

Ender

Two consecutive ends, with a change of direction in between each; one end at an angle greater than 45 degrees, one end greater than 60 degrees, retaining the feature. A three ended sequence - two ends must be over 45 degrees and the other over 60 degrees. The entire sequence is performed using one paddle blade only. The first end is initiated on the bow one way. The second tail end is split back and rotated through 180 degrees. The third bow end is followed through in the same direction as the first landing in the hole or on the wave.

Stern pirouette elevated over 45 degrees, initiated from a front surf. Move may finish as a 360 pirouette ending in a front surf, a 270 pirouette ending in a bow cartwheel end, or a 180 pirouette ending in a back loop. 180-degree rotation starting in back surf linked with a front loop or airwheel landing on the hole or wave. The boat must land within 45 degrees of front surf. Move initiated by a cross bow pirouette and followed by a front loop. Only one paddle stroke must be used to achieve the move. The boat must land within 45 degrees of front surf. Elevated 180 degrees rotation on green water at an angle between 0 and 45 degrees, clear of the foam pile, where the competitor rotates around the bow of the boat landing in a back surf.

Felix

Left and right

Spinning from a front-surf, the boat pops out of the water into an inverted aerial spin but lands still inverted. Boat must momentarily go aerial, paddlers head and body may contact water. The paddler rolls up on the opposite side in one fluid motion to completing the spin to a front surf. Page 3

Spinning from a front-surf, the boat pops out of the water into an inverted, aerial spin that lands on the opposite sidwall as the paddler rights himself and finishes the spin to front surf. The paddlers boat must be aerial for the entire inverted part of the trick. The paddlers body and paddle may contact the water while inverted and may assist the spin and roll upright.
