Tantrums

Prerequsites:
Should be able to land front rolls or front 360s.  Should be able to ride with only one hand on the bar. 

A Tantrum is a front roll, with only your front hand on the control bar.  A front 360 with only your front hand on the control bar, may or may not be considered a tantrum, depending on your spectators.

Step One:
Start by doing a normal front roll

Step Two:
Immediately after tucking your head forward and releasing from the water, release your back had from the bar, and throw you back hand and arm open as if you were going to hug someone, but do it with momentum.  Immediately follow your hand and arm with your head, by looking over your back shoulder at your back hand, which should be stretched out behind you.

Step Three:
Just before your board hits the water, bring your hand back to the bar to slow your rotation for landing.  Land with your knees slightly bend and your board pointed downwind at 45 degrees.
