The 3 families of moves

Surfing maneuvers can be classified into three broad categories:

• Horizontal maneuvers such as the Cut Back.
• Vertical maneuvers such as the Roller, Off the Lip.
• The Green Room Maneuvers like Getting Tubed.

Added to this are forms of moves such as anything that is Aerial or anything that is slid out or carved. By having this catalog of possibilities in mind, clearly organized, you improve your Surfing because you organize your actions. Of course there are also all the transitions and all the jumps, but it is important to clarify the actions in Surfing..
