The roundhouse is a fun trick that I learned at Keeners, and it becomes a blunt with practice. A roundhouse scores 15 points in a competition and a back roundhouse will score 20 points. A roundhouse is a 180 degree rotation around the bow in the green water with a vertical angle between 0 and 45 degrees. A back roundhouse is the same but you rotate around the stern instead of the bow.
To do a roundhouse, you will take an acceleration stroke into the green water of a wave in a front surf, drop an edge to the side you want to roundhouse to and take a back sweep on the same side. The back roundhouse is done with the same idea but you take a forward sweep and start from a back surf. As you get better, you will start to get more vertical and it will turn into a blunt or a back blunt.
