My boy pulls this wheelie which looks pretty cool. Does this move have a name?

I've always heard those called "tail blunts".

It's called "Make him hold that as long as he can & have him try it on a Roam". Looks like he might be able to pull one off like Murray's, although Murray did it on the nose.

I thought it was only a manual if you put a hand down on the water - hence the name.

Tail press, I though a manual was more of a skateboard trick.

From watching the footage, it doesn't look like Murray really rides the tail or nose, it's more like he puts the edge of the tail or nose into the water like a mini-rudder, and slices through the water. Am I wrong? Anyone have any pics?

To quote my personal hero, Mike Murphy. "Thats what we call hot doggin'!!!!" Did you know that Mike Murphy once did 763 back flips in a row on a Sky Ski? What did your hero do? Not 763 back flips!!! Thats right!!

Exactly how long does it take to do that many flips stephan?

not sure what it's called but i know some guys that use it to slow down before they turn back into their cut...like after they do a raley and they are carrying a lot of speed. i think murray's is not the same thing....i saw shapiro do the tip edge thing in a video once on some glass....it was pretty sweet.
