HOW TO: BACKSIDE SNAP

The Snap is halfway between the Roller and the Cut Back.

Its function is identical to the Cut Back: burning speed which gives you time for the wave to reform in front of you.

You attack it like as if it were a Roller but instead you’re wanting to get out of it with speed and therefore you need to let the Board slide, you will want to charge the lip and snap it quickly.

To accentuate this turn, you will bring the front foot back to the inside of the turn and push the back foot outwards violently.
