What is it?

Pan Am is an elevated aerial rotation on green water at a vertical angle greater than 90°, clear of the foam pile at some point, where the freestyler rotates around the bow of the boat. This is an oververtical blunt that requires even more commitment to go over the edge and under the boat with your body.

Step by Step

1. Set up on the top of the wave.
2. Go for a small hop into explosive rail drive all the way to the back of the leading edge.
3. Punch with your leading hand to the secondary side throwing your body under the boat.
4. Plant your secondary blade under your tail.
5. Looking at the secondary blade, press on it and throw your body over it.
6. Upon landing, use the leading blade to recover and straighten the boat with a back sweep stroke.
