Rider turns the board backside 90 degrees and grinds the water
Rider then grabs the bar with opposite hand and does another 90 degree turn in the same direction.

Body Slide

Butterslide

Butterslide 180
Same as regular butterslide but with an additional 90 degree rotation in the same direction

Perez

Potato Peeler
Body Slide with fin release

Powerslide
Board is turned backside 90 degrees. Fins are broken loose.

Surface 180
A 180 degree turn on the surface of the water.

A lot of riders do this move, especially mutant riders. Check out footage of Flash Austin or Mark Shinn, they do this regularly. The typical sequence of events goes:
1 Approach transition point riding toeside with forward arm's hand scraping the water.
2: At the same time as you move the kite to the other side of the window, do a forward summasault over your forward hand
3: Stand up while driving your kite into the window in the opposite direction from which you entered the tumble turn

PMUs right. i've seen guys do this move, it looks quite cool. Sometimes it happens when guys try their first spins and they end up doin one of these... they look way cooler than proper spins too!
