1. Ruben Lenten
September 3rd 2009 – Holland
Ruben commits to the first S-loop in history. He doesn’t land it, but shows the shape and possibility. He spends the next decade+ not being overtly proud of it, stating that he should have been more aggressive.

January 11th 2021 – Cape Town
He breaks his board and lines on this, but the tone is set for the following years. The S-loop hasn’t been forgotten.
3. Andrea Principi
January 14th 2021 – Punta Trettu – Sardina
A 15 year-old Andrea lands his first S-Loop and is attacked online for his effort. It was widely thought that the second loop was too high in the window.

10. Andrea Principi
Cold Hawaii 2022 – Denmark
S-loop board off. This was in the final, moments after Lorenzo attempted a Rodeo S-loop (and crashed).
So there you have it -you’re all caught up. We’ll be adding more variations in as they happen. Until then, hear Giel discussing the progression in this episode of the Megapod:
