Turtle Roll

How to get past white water waves using the Turtle Roll / Eskimo Roll technique.

The “Turtle Roll”, sometimes called the “Eskimo Roll”, is a great technique to get passed bigger white water waves that are too powerful for the “punch through” method. Longboards and foamboards offer a lot of floatation, which is great for learning, but they make it almost impossible to sink your board underwater to do a “duck dive”.

The Turtle Roll is a great technique for you to stay in control of your board and not get pushed back too much by the white water.
