Double wraps anyone?

[skimcentral]

Have you ever done one? Not a wrap then a quick 360 but a double wrap?

[zeus]

one time my friend was enchanted by a wizard and he did a double on a double wrap over head wave, he barely made it, jk, i think its impossibly but then again a kick flip WAS impossible

[shiznit]

i dont understand what you mean by a double wrap only like a 180 rap i guess is what i picture

[3rd Coast Skimmer]

I think he means doing a wrap, then turning back into the wave and wrapping again.

If Grady Archbold hasn't done it... it can't be done

IMO Grady is Lord of the Skim

[brett00]

is it like you wrap backside then you wrap frontside?

[Skuce]

It's only a matter of time................

[RexSkimmer]

i think its been done

[amosb72]

i think he means like doing a long chilled wrap and when you get to the bottom of the face you turn back up and do it again...then ride

[Nitroglycerine Himself]

i think it would have to be a pretty gnarly liner to pull it off. on just ur everyday shorebreak i dont think u'd have enough time for the second wrap, u'd already be back on the sand

[hobo]

wrap to slash?

[skomsolag3kmv]

ud probly have to put some sort of fins on your board so you could do a fast enough cutback to get enough speed to get up the face again, basically just like smacking the lip twice while surfing.....this would definately be a sick idea for a nice tow-in session with some tweaked skim sticks with little tiny fins on em

[MattSkimz]

it would be, but that defeats the purpose of SKIMMING lol :]

[Erick skim]

if seen my brother plain out get a back sider rap liner it back in then frontside wrap and come back up the beach going backside.

[Jim Gordon]

I'm not sure what you mean, but I think I saw a surfer do it. So if a surfer could do it I sure a skimboarder could. It would be just harder on a skim.

[beachbum]

are you talking option 1 or option 2 i made here. F/S to F/S wrap in option one or F/S to B/S in option 2. both seen hard, 2 a little easier probably. you would need a lot of speed and probably catch the wave early. A good shorebreak and youll probably only get one wrap off before the wave barrels over.

[jerzy_skim_07760]

Like a roundhouse cutback

[matty kerns]

joel does like a wrap cuyt back...

[Teddy Parker]

beachbum you're awesome. i want to try option 1 and 2 tomorrow. thanx.

[J. Saunders]

what the frack is a double wrap

at first glance they look like hairy nut sacs. i would definately go with option 2 as more probable

[matty kerns]

idk man i mean some one with alot of fracking speed i think one is possible

[skimcentral]

I used to do then back in the day at Treasure Island--it is similar to illustration 1.

You had to have good speed but and a very certain type of wave that sets up real early and holds it's face for a while. It was one of my fav tricks. T.I. broke so sweet in the late 80's--the faces would set up and just sit there and wink at you forever! It was better there than anywhere I skimmed in Florida back then.

I was just wondering if maybe I invented this double wrap, because I haven't seen anyone do it.

[Rhino]

i think ive seen a double backside wrap on a flow rider. It seems like it would need to be a slow and weak wave for it to be done for real.

[ejb]

sounds like a reversal or something, kelly slater has done it on a surfboard

[GREYskim]

iv e thought about this a lot. mike, thats so sik that you invented that, lets just say that!

[GREYskim]

p.s. i wish i was with you at old t.i. its pretty crap there now, or at least always
seems to be

[matty kerns]

well grey mayb u should jsut come home for a weekend and actualy call me

It's called the combo wrap.

[ejb]

i call that a wrap to a floater/snap turn

[George Bush]

Thats not a double wrap, that is a wrap to like a fs line and going up the face and doing a nice little spray and back down again

[Jukebox Josh]

Nope. Try again.

[skimcentral]

It actually works best on a powerful but early set up wave--it has to hold it's face for a little while and not suck up.

I used to do them just like a regular BS wrap--right after the first one go straight into another one. You get there early with good speed dig that rail and wrap then do it again.

Yeah you guys wouldn't believe how sweet T.I. was back then. That is why still to this day I have trouble getting stoked on our waves that we get now.
I used to even think the east coast waves were not that great in comparison because they didn't set up as early and hold there. When a wave sets up that early but still breaks close and has some power--sweetness!
