Definitely not a Helix - whole boat is not aerial for any of the rotation. This might be a traditional Felix but there is no point where the whole boat is up as I see it.

I think only the 3d one can be scored as a felix, butnohelis in there.
The things might be: first, cupsize when the boat is perpendicular to the stream direction (it makes you have to use curves to do it and not only let you fall down), second, take air at one moment, and third, come back in a normal and viable front surf position...

Not a Helix. Lets look at this via the definition breakdown...
1- 360 degree spin with at least 180 of it inverted. From the point of initiation to the completion, this is a 270 degree spin with 180 inverted.

2- the boat must be aerial. It is not.

Unfortunately, I don't see this scoring as a Felix either, as a felix has the same definition as a Helix, minus the air....
