[thedaddymongo]

Being a ISA Level 2 coach, he misses a fair few simple tips...I teach ppl to first identify a flat section approaching and drive out onto the face,.Turning your head to look where you are going, form a compressed T with your arms following your head towards the foam....HOLD that position till you want to turn back, and snap your gaze back down the line. For roundhouse cutbacks, lift your arms to throw the board up towards the foam to create a high rebound - but look away before you hit the foam.

@thedaddymongo

I agree, especially about looking away before you rebound or smack off the foam (looking away makes it easier to keep your line and it looks really stylish). Also, try and rebound or smack as high as the wave lets you. There's heaps more to know, I mean a roundhouse thats done on a 5 foot wall can't be turn on a 2 foot wave in vice versa. Ask your mates to watch or film yourself to learn all the dynamics. Learning everything about a cutback can't be done in a 3min video.

Probably the best tips I have ever encountered on cut backs was a Surfer Mag article by Mike Purpose. Sometimes good surfers ride by instinct and they, themselves don't know / understand how to break down and explain their own movements. Taylor's best comment was basically, "watch Curren" Cutbacks are technical moves requiring both rails transitioning; hips redirecting, shoulder/head alignment, timing & rotation; use of pressure and transitioning from both sides of the foot; and "wave anatomy".

[MutilateYOU]

In alot of these videos i kinda noticed how the surfers stumble when they talk sometimes. To me, this proves surfing is undescribable :3 lol...

I made a 7'2 flying carpet and I'm wondering, HOW THE FUCK AM I GOING TO DO SOME SICK CUT BACKS LIKE THAT MAN!

[c4t2f0]

Why do people always want yhe pros boards?There custom for the rider....if u had that board u wouldnt be able to ride it antway.I wanted a signature board also till the guy at the shop said youre spending an extra hundred just for the surfers name on the board.I bought an al merrik flyer two 6'6''x19 3/4"x2 5/8".channel island boards are so smooth

[transplant07]

flyers are sick

[fathos69]

good clip}}

[muttonbuster]

I was always taught that the first thing you do to initiate a turn is look where you want to go, and the body will follow more naturally. In other words if you're cutting back going frontside, look over your shoulder to the pocket and your shoulders and the rest of your body will automatically follow. For some reason it makes setting the rail more automatic.

[TheSurfreakDK]

[bacura101]

@muttonbuster it is exactly like that.
