Nico Vargas was inspired by this perfect Chilean left foot and decided to fill it with the same maneuver five times.

Nobody knows how his legs worked, but the Chilean completed five reverses on a single wave. He travelled a few hundred metres, 150 or 200? More?

And did he break a world record?

Questions that Nico Vargas asked imperatively after this crazy feat by the Chilean.
