If ever I saw a professional bodysurfer, bro you are it!

[@dsantos360]

wow, never knew that was even possible!

[@MoreThanRuan]

Just bought flippers to up my game. Just found the motivation I need.

[@adenedaa]

flippers are a must to do anything good with bodysurfing! they might be uncomfortable but after a couple sessions you'll be better than ever!

That's pretty common in Hawaii, awesome move including the free fall!!!

[@michaelb7864]

It’s definitely not “pretty common in Hawaii” you kook. Try to be cool somewhere else poser.

As complicated as they are to make, frontflips are still very unsightly to look at! I much prefer the way he then recovers that little right
