Back in March 2002 these were the scores set by International Freestyle Committee for freestyle competitions. The first number denotes the points awarded for each move. How things have changed!

0.1 Back surf (2 second minimum) – Competitor maintains a backward position with body facing completely downstream.

0.1 Flat spin (counts one way only) – 360 degree rotation of boat at a 0-45 degree angle.

0.1 Shuvit (counts one way only) – The boat starts from a front or back surf, rotates through 180 degrees, then rotates back the same way a further 180 degrees (0-45 degree angle).

0.6 Blunt (counts left and right) – Elevated 180 degrees rotation on green water at an angle greater than 45 degrees, clear of the foam pile, where the competitor rotates around the bow of the boat.

1.0 Back Blunt/Stab (counts left and right) – Elevated 180 degrees rotation on green water at an angle greater than 45 degrees, clear of the foam pile, where the competitor rotates around the stern of the boat.

1.4 Aerial Blunt (counts left and right) – Elevated 180 degrees rotation on green water at an angle greater than 45 degrees, clear of the foam pile, where the competitor rotates around the bow of the boat, which becomes airborne for part of the move.

0.2 Pirouette (must land upright) – 360 degree rotation at an elevation greater than 70 degrees, on the bow or stern.

0.2 Clean spin (counts one way only, no paddle or hand touch) – 360-degree rotation of the boat with one stroke at a 0-45 degree angle.

0.4 Super Clean Spin (counts left and right) – 360 degree rotation of the boat with no stroke at a 0-45 degree angle.

0.2 Cartwheel (counts left and right, two ends minimum.) – Two consecutive ends in the same rotational direction, with both ends at an angle greater than 45 degrees.

0.6 Clean Cartwheel (counts left and right, no paddle or hand touch) – Two consecutive ends in the same rotational direction, with one stroke, and both ends at an angle greater than 45 degrees.

1.0 Super Clean Cartwheel (counts left and right, minimum two ends linked no paddle or hand touch) – Two consecutive ends in the same rotational direction, with no stroke, and both ends at an angle greater than 45 degrees.

0.6 Split wheel (counts left and right, one end must be vertical) – Two consecutive ends, with a change of direction in between each. One end of more than 45 degrees, and one with more than 70 degrees.

1.2 Loop (back/front or front/back) – Two consecutive ends over 70 degrees where the boat remains at a right angle to the direction water flow.

1.2 Trophy Move – A spectacular new move.
