How to do an Air Roll Spin (ARS) in bodyboarding
It's one of the most popular maneuvers in contemporary bodyboarding. The air roll spin (ARS) is not as complicated as it looks. Let's learn how to pull it and land it.
The ARS is a combination of two key bodyboarding tricks: the forward spin (360), and the el rollo. The move was invented in 1993 by Michael "Eppo" Eppelstun, after watching Ben Holland performed a tweaked air reverse.
Eppelstun landed it for the first time at Lighthouse Beach, in Port Macquarie, New South Wales. Three months later, at North Wall, he went for a section, hesitated and ended up flying and landing backwards. The backflip had been born.
