Surfers are innovators by excellence. In the last 15 years, many wave riders have pulled and landed impossible aerial moves and flips.
Josh Kerr is one of the surfing magicians. He could spend his life inventing and naming surf moves. Have you ever seen his "Kerrupt Flip" or "Crazy Spin"?
Timmy Curran is an aerial wizard. After many tries, he finally pulls it in great style. It's the "Hail Mary." Prepare to be left speechless.
Troy Brooks is another surf plane. He flies really high, even when the waves are small.
Watch his "Superman Air" and the cheering crowd. Jordy Smith knows what he is doing while riding waves.
It's easier to name a high-flying rotating flip into a reverse 360 simply as "Rodeo Flip." Watch him imitating the bodyboarder's ARS.

Everybody knows what Dane Reynolds is capable of, and this "Backside 180 Shove-it" speaks for itself.
