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.

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.

@amucas not really you just get heaps sticky ones or put them on before the boards fibreglassed
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.
