tutle role which is where u spin you board round so u are laying under it as u go throw but hold on tight

yes there is. u can turtle dive.
turtle diving is where u roll ur board so the fins are sticking up, u r underneath the board as the wave goes over u. but hold on tight! my board has gotten away from me many times... but i think i am getting the hang of it now!- u have to keep ur body as close to the board as u can as the wave goes over, when it has gone, u push the board back over and pull urself back up onto it.
the anoying thing is though sometimes when a set comes in, u roll under one, and by the time u get back up and start paddling the next wave comes!

it is usually effective though! cheers

I like the "hopefully not pulling you back too far" part from the link above... so true!
