An El Rollo (Spanish for "The Roll") is a bodyboarding trick performed when the bodyboarder hits the lip of the wave and uses its power to throw himself out with the lip in a perfect arc to complete a roll before landing on the wave surface or into the white water. When the bodyboarder detaches completely from the wave surface or the lip the trick is called an air roll or aerial roll.[citation needed]
El Rollo recognized as one of the most popular bodyboarding tricks, and is also a kind of "bodyboarding trademark".[specify][citation needed]
The El Rollo was independently invented by bodyboarding legends Pat Caldwell and Mike Stewart.[citation needed]
