| Wave :: |
| Aerial Off-the-Lip: |
Getting air while wave riding by hitting the top of a wave just as it breaks-- the lip of the wave -- so you are launched into the air and land in front of the wave. |
| Bottom Turn: |
The segment of wave sailing where you turn in front of the wave face so you can ride the wave back up to the peak. |
| Leeward: |
Sailing leeward instead of windward on the wave face so the sail is between you and the wave. |
| Wave 360: Standard: |
Turning a full 360 degrees in front of a breaking wave. This is a pseudo aerial maneuver that rotates upwind while sailing down-the-line (downwind). |
| Wave 360: Windward: |
Turning a full 360 in front of the wave; downwind while sailing windward. Originator: Lars Bergstrom |
| Taka: |
Turning a full 360 upwind and in front of the wave while going downwind. Invented byTakaharu Kamaguchi (nickname Taka) |
| Gu Screw: |
A waveriding aerial maneuver initiated by hitting the lip clew first and launching into the air behind the wave. The board and sail rotate horizontally through 360 degrees landing upright and facing toward the beech behind the wave. Inventor: Mark Angulo |
| Auto-Rotator: |
A Flip-360 on the wave face so the board slides during the manuever. |
| Goiter: |
A front side wave riding aerial where the sailor hits the lip clew first and throws the body forward in a twisting upside down corkscrew rotation which flips over into the upright position; hopefully in front of the wave. Kinda of a upside down reverse inverted Wymeroo. |
| Lip SLide: |
A wave sailing move where the sailor slides the board along the breaking lip of the wave.: |
