Bottom Turn

How to do a proper bottom turn

The bottom turn is commonly seen as the backbone of performance surfing. It’s one of the most important techniques of surfing because it sets up every manoeuvre you want to do on the face. Generally, the better your bottom turn gets, the more you will improve your manoeuvres on the wave.

The bottom turn is a smooth, powerful turn at the bottom of the wave that provides you the proper speed and direction for a manoeuvre on the wave.
