Normally I try and break things down into five steps. This one is a little more difficult so I had to break it up into 8 steps. If you have front rolls dialed, try and spice them up with this variation. If you can, throw in a grab and add your own personal style!
Step one
Pop with a lot of speed. This will help build momentum when you invert. You might have to bounce the board a little before you pop to break the surface tension of the water.
Step two
After you explore off the water bring your front knee right up into your chest. This will also help with the momentum.
Step three
Dip your front shoulder and angle your head back. This will initiate the front roll.
Step four
Throw your head back. This is the secret to turning a normal front roll into an inverted one! Try... less
