The Tale From the Foil Vault
SurferToday published Seraphin's footage as the first ever el rollo landed on a foil-equipped bodyboard. The same footage also showed cutbacks, frontside airs, 360s, air reverses, and a barrel, but only the explicitly claimed el rollo first is entered here.
Rules of the Beast
The rider must complete an el rollo on a hydrofoil-equipped bodyboard and land back on the wave or whitewater under control. The ride must remain bodyboard-style and primarily prone, with published video or reporting identifying the rider and the first claim.
How This Got the Nod
Explicit maneuver-first claim in established bodyboarding media, supported by published video and a named rider.
Video Proof From the Vault
