Key for meunvers

Postby HeartSurfing » Fri Jun 29, 2018 3:25 am

Hey everyone! This is my first post on this website so go easy on me.

A lot of intermediate surfers I see out there struggle to progress further then basic driving down the line. This however, can be caused due to many reasons. However, the most underated and most cruicial turn when learning to surf is the BOTTOM TURN. MASTER THE BOTTOM TURN. People get confused with simply turning up the wave and performing a bottom turn. A bottom turn allows for rail engagement i.n the water and sets up a majority of surfing meunvers. If you're trying to attempt snaps, cutbacks and have a pour bottom turn. You WILL not succeed. This might be slightly obvious for some but trust me, the amount of people who aren't aware of bottom turns is huge. FUNDAMENTALS ARE KEY IN SURFING.

Anyway, thought I share my advice! :woot: :woot:

Yes the bottom turn is the most important thing to learn to progress. It's my favorite bit of advice.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.
