Big board bottom turn

On very large boards, and often in small waves that leave little time for action, you can choose to do a bottom turn by staying in the middle of the board. Indeed, in small waves, it is necessary to preserve the speed and thus to remain in high line and without bucking the board excessively. The solution of the bottom turn in the middle of the board will allow you to do this but be careful : it is complex to do. Generally, this is the type of bottom turn that beginners try and it often ends in a fall inside the turn while the board keeps going straight … To avoid this problem, the key is to put your weight in the turn but to keep the upper body in balance, without leaning over too much. Clearly, you have to get your ankles into action and dose the commitment of your upper body within the turn. Surfer : l’Ours on his GONG Surf 9’2 Ten Blues Proto Made In La France.
