you can easily turn turtle with anyboard. its a lot harder to duck dive with your board but its very possible. there are many people who can duck dive with their longboards. i think what you do is you tilt the board on one edge so it digs into the water then push the other side down into the water so it creates like a suction effect. and this must occur on the front half of the board but not too much in front so it doesnt flip out of the water. it takes some strength and skill but its possible. wow i havent written on this forum in a really long time...probably over a year hehe
