Freestyle is ridden unhooked and powered, and the landings are hard, so the water has to be flat enough to forgive one. Steady pull beats big numbers here: a lull halfway through a handle pass ends the trick and usually the session with it.
Standing depth helps too, because you will spend part of the day walking back to the board. Spots reach this page through a freestyle tag kept on the spot itself. Greece, Brazil and Spain hold the most.
