El Rollo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An El Rollo (Spanish for "The Roll") is a bodyboarding trick performed when the bodyboarder hits the lip of the wave and uses its power to throw himself out with the lip in a perfect arc to complete a roll before landing on the wave surface or into the white water. When the bodyboarder detaches completely from the wave surface or the lip it´s called an air roll or aerial roll.
It´s recognized as one of the most representative bodyboarding trick, and also as a kind of "bodyboarding trademark".
The El Rollo was independently invented by bodyboarding legends Pat Caldwell and Mike Stewart.
