You say Tindy...

I say Iguana Ok folks, how many folks refer to this grab as Tindy and how many refer to it as Iguana and the third option is WTH?

The rear hand grabs the toe edge near the tail.

How many folks refer to an Indy grab ONLY when it is perform backside - so in wakeboarding, I woukd guess there would never be a toeside indy grab?

Thanks for the feedback.

I thought it was a "Stale Fish." At least that is what it is called on my Kelly Slater surfing game on my PS2. I believe if you hold R1 and then hit arrow down then square.
Board More/Work Less!

wth!

One of my near and dear bro's was giving me crap about the difference between a frontside grab and an indy grab. In wakeboarding, grab the toeside rail with your rear hand and it's indy, right?

Check this definition of an Indy

According to my 'bro...it's indy ONLY if it's done backside! as defined above.

Just wondering how many folks require that an indy grab be done backside.

Johnboy, I KNEW I was forgetting the square! I am so bad with video game controllers, with my bifocals I have to stare at the stupid thing and get it into focus, typically my car/surfer/snowboard on the screen is DEAD by the time I get my fingers organized.

Indy should be rear hand, toeside edge, between the feet. "Tindy" is between the rear foot and tail of the board. Not quit indy, and not a tail grab. Some say tindy is not a legit grab. So if someone tells you, "nice tindy" they are probably making fun of you!

In the reference above, the description was of an Iguana which is a legitimate snowboard grab and it is a "Tindy" in wakeboarding. However, more interesting is that in snowboarding, a "legit" indy can only be done backside, the same grab off a frontside say pipe face is a frontside grab. That doesn't translate into wakeboarding - a TS Indy is perfectly acceptable. I'm trying to work on nomenclature. Tindy? Iguana? or like Taco says - WTH?
