The Australian surfer Julian Wilson has invented his own aerial manoeuvre. It is a startling combination of a “Superman” (made popular by free-style motocross riders) and a twisting, carving, backhand loop, and Wilson has appropriately dubbed the aerobatic manoeuvre “The Sushi Roll”.

According to the Australian newspaper The Daily he says: “I was just surfing one day and I flew out of the back of the wave and then the board got away from me and I pulled off that Superman manoeuvre”.

“It felt really comfortable. So I started trying it a couple of times. A few days later, I went to Japan on an ASL trip and turned it into The Sushi Roll, which they got on film.”
