I think I screwed up

I was doing stern squirts in the Viper this morning. Once, I went past vertical & rolled. It felt different
. I tried it again. Still felt different. It felt like the bow stayed in the air durring the roll. I piddled around a bit & let the tip of the bow dry out. Then I tried it again. I went past vertical on the stern squirt & rolled as soon as my head hit the water. When I came up the tip of the bow was still dry
It felt way cool
. I came home & looked it up & if I did what I think I did, I screwed up! Try it, it's really neat

I have done screw up's a lot while playing around doing cartwheels in my amp. I have been told that they look cool by kayakers watching and it fell's so cool and odd while doing it. If you get lucky on an eddy like I havea few times I have been able to roll up and keep the bow some how in the air and keep on stern squirting, I don't know how I do it but it is so much fun but I can only do it on some eddy lines.
Well, Mike...

...it sounds like you really have found a "screw-up" this time
! That's pretty cool! Now, as you get used to sticking that "air roll", see how long you can keep the bow up and turning--see how long you can keep screwin' up!
That reminds me of a rather dirty joke, but since none have been posted on this message board, I'm not gonna be the first.

Darn, I figure out a neat trick y'all won't let me rest on my laurel(s), you make me take it a step further. Thanks
I'll try to keep the stern squirting next time I go out. I'm thinking that I'll need a LOT of spin momentum. hmmm
Thanks,
