What is it?

Felix is a 360° spin with at least 180° of which the boat must be inverted. It is a very easy beginner move worth 40 points and you can do it at the Flat Water, hole or a wave! It is also a great introduction move for the famous helix.

Step by Step

1. Start pointing forward.
2. Use a wide backward sweep stroke to spin to 90 degrees.
3. Roll towards the active blade and tuck under the front of the boat.
4. Go under the front of the boat and roll up the opposite side using a sweep roll.
5. Finish off the spin by pulling wide on sweep stroke to get your boat back to front surf.
