How to almost do an airscrew - Miguel Escuer

All the people who come to keeners know that they are going to surf the biggest and greatest waves in their lives. And who has been in freestyle hopes to get some awesome tricks. I am one of those people. I came to Ottawa for a week two years ago and I could not do any tricks in garb because I was younger and I was paddling a 2007 star. So coming to keeners was my second opportunity. I have been here for a week and I have not done any good wave trick. So instead of teaching you how to airscrew, I am teaching you how to almost do an airscrew.

The first thing you have to do is finding a fast bouncy wave. Then just get in and try to get up the foam. When you are in the highest point of it you say to yourself; i am going to throw the biggest airscrew of my entire life. If you go down the wave straight and without flipping over you are doing it okey. When you hit the green water and you bounces once you have to do a hard stroke in the opposite side you are doing the trick. Then in the second bounce just do it. Do a fast roll. Most of the times you just do not bounce that high or you miss the roll so you just get out of the wave up side down. But sometimes you get a big bounce and a fast roll. And you think; Yes, I did it. Then you realise that you came out the wave. And this is how to I almost do an airscrew.
