Off-the-lip

It consists of smacking right under the lip, and getting as vertical as possible. One must hear the lip slapping the hull of the board. And unlike a roller, you really have to turn straight up the wave almost in one spot.

The keys are:

A lot of speed so you get clear of the wave at the bottom and be able to project an upright vertical trajectory.

Do not get ahead of the wave because on the shoulder this move is impossible. There must be some foam at your feet at the bottom turn.

Pushing hard on the back foot going up the wave to force the pivot, almost as if you wanted to pass the tail behind the wave and put the boards rocker on the lip.

Keep in mind that you have to smack the lip, don’t be gentle with it…

Always be sure the hull is on the lip and not the rail.
