Shooting the Curl PO24-9
I'm not really sure if this is still what this move is called, but it fits just the same. The surfer will catch the start of the breaking wave and ride down through the curl of the waves as it crashes over their head. With luck or skill, they will pop out the end of the curl for an exciting move on the waves. I was wondering how the surfing was going to be held in Paris, but it isn't. The Olympic surfers are all down in the rather beautiful French Polynesia on the island of Tahiti. John John Florence (Team USA) had such a great ride that he is qualified into the the semi's without having to surf the quarterfinals.
