^Yeah, .......the out of the lip whip around of the tail, is a snap turn, or a top turn done with power and style.

A carve off the top is just that, a carve, or longer arc turn. This will make some spray.
A turn off the top, or snap turn, is a drastic direction change at the lip or top of the wave. This will make more spray. The tighter and snappier the turn the more spray.

It is all fun
