Skier Candide Thovex Threw This Picture-Perfect Backflip in a Wave Pool

He worked in the wave pool before skiing waves in his latest viral edit.

Candide Thovex is insane. Before he put down the wave part in his latest edit, he worked on skiing in waves by throwing this picture-perfect backflip in a wave pool (we’re assuming he was towed-at the wave feature as you can see a splash to his right just before he hits the wave). Anyone want to venture a guess where it is? Dude is a ridiculous skier. And his imagination is next level, too.
