HOW TO : BOTTOM TURN !!!
Now let’s say you are in the right position, perfectly placed on the board, you have to turn to be able to go straight and then diagonally. Turn left if it’s left and vice versa.
Your reading of the wave will determine your bottom turn : long if the wave is fast, very tight if you want to go back to the vertical section etc.
The energy built up during the take-off is not infinite. So, the bottom turn that will burn much of this energy must produce :
Build up energy again by pumping with the thighs.
Burn as little as possible with excessive movements and that would slow down the board.
The acceleration and radicality of the turns that will flow from this commitment may surprise at first, but it is a key element to surfing.
That’s really what makes the wave surfable. With a good bottom turn one can go far beyond the speed that the wave produces and project oneself into other maneuvers.
Of course, the heavier the wave is, the more you have to step back and get your foot near the inside rail.
Also, note that in fast and powerful waves, the board can rebound off the water. It can even make you lose your balance. Be sure to dose the weight distribution correctly.
It’s where you look that guides your board. So keep your eyes on where you want to go.
