I've only just started catching green waves but the floater looks achievable, gonna give it a crack. Great vid 👍🏻

I have been practicing El Rollos for almost 2 years, and it is much harder than it looks. It is confusing when I hear that you should look towards the beach or try to look in the direction you're going on the wave. I will keep practicing, but I have only hit about 3 clean ones in 2 years of practicing here in Hawaii.

I'm gonna try to apply this tricks, for me, the reverse spin is easier than 360 spin😅

When I do spinners I've always felt that the kick of the fins is what helps initiate the 360 but I haven't seen any video mention that. Am I tripping?
