i know very well what they look like as a spectator but i tried one today and i did some weird variation of a tantrum and stuck it but i'm confused.
When i left the water i know that the nose of my board went behind mee and i came around and i landed regular. So was that like a overhead bs 3 without a tantrum or what. it did'nt feel like a regular tantrum and my body was horizontal. But it seemed to easy to be a whirly.
if anybody understands what i'm saying please help. My driver didn't catch it. |

Sometimes when I try to get a ton of pop on a tantrum, I end up going through the wake with a little too much edge. This causes my body to twist backwards and then back again before I land. It feels and looks like something spectacular but is truly just an ugly tantrum. Could that be what it is? |

Yeah i was thinking this too but i've done plenty of ugly tantrums and you have to bring the front of the board back like you were spinning frontside i came around like i was spinning backside. sorry this is probably too confusing.
It kinda seems like the only difference between a whirly and an ugly stetched out tantrum is wether or not the rope handle crosses your shoulders and your back closes to the boat???
Still confused! Help |

From what your saying, it sounds like your doing an ugly whirlybird. Maybe if you do it again and catch it on video? |

If you can do them on the tramp then it should feel the same. Just tuck that hand right by your head! _________________ Go Big! |
