Trick: Headstand

Difficulty: Hard

1. Aloha! The "Mystical" Headstand has been an integral part of surfing since it's beginning.

2. Only the finest of surfers can do the "Mystical" Headstand.

3. A surfer must be riding centered, his shoulders squared, eyes looking forward.

4. Then, the surfer bends himself forward, placing his hands down as he places his hands on the surfboard.

5. He then becomes "inverted and erect" (aka head over heels)

6. After the surfer rides erect and completely straight up (again, head over heels) he should regain his original position.

7. If you don't regain your position and ride away, you haven't completed the head stand.
