Name of a surf trick?

What is the name of a transfer over to or almost to surface level and back without switching the actual wave?

you talkn bout a floater?

Define floater ????, I went over and back and got pretty much to the flat surface of water/base of wave on other side of wave close to the boat in front , very similar to transfer switching the wave except I didn't initiate a crossing , I surfed and worked the foam until I got over and down and never had the driver switch the G23 wave

Wait , isn't a floater riding the foamy crest of the wave, stalling snd then coming down, so if that definitely not a floater

How about video???

sounds like 2 cross overs

It was weak and my 1st day trying to cross after surfing foam for a month

Josh, were you in the supra for pro lessons at Surfest 2015? If so my wife was blond in wetsuit trying 360's and I was on crutches from broken femur

It is just a transfer. The combination of maneuvers or what you were doing are not a 'new trick' or a trick. It is just a transfer. Maybe a transfer out and transfer back if you want to get technical. People have been doing this for decades, long before quick switch systems.

Thx, still working on getting all the way to water surface, kind of scares me cause flats are close to boat platform
