In this Episode we dive into front side "Bottom Turns."
Being a life long skater transitioning into surfing.. These tutorials are just what I needed! It’s so easy to understand when you break it down on a carver because I understand that language so much better. Thank you man!!!
Bottom turns are everything!

That’s what she said
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to uncover bigger buttocks exercises try Dalz Amazing Bum Discovery (just google it ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my neighbor got amazing success with it.
dude what? ^^^ ...of course we all want a huge ass as surfers bro 🤔🤗😆😂😂😂🤦🏻
Hi Was a high performance European surfer, however back injury put things on hold for about 5 years. After loads of hard work starting to do a turn or two. However boards don't look much different but they have progressed so much !!! Fins that's another story. Your reviews have been great help for me in board choice and save me money. Just want to say Thanks .
The fact he can rip regular and goofy is just maddening. So sick
I flipped the footage in my editing software to help the Goofy footers in our community. I’m a regular footer. Cheers
@@surfnshowreviews7777 His comment was a joke mate 😂😭
Thank you for the tips. Another tip I got to help with bottom turning is to lean and touch the water with your hand. Once you improve your compression try touch water with forearm. Only applies to bigger surf and frontside mind. Back side use leading hand to touch. Small surf its more of a twisting motion rather than leaning.
We will go deeper into bottom turns in future episodes. We only work on couple things at a time in each episode so we don't overwhelm everyone with things to remember.
This is such an awesome analysis of the bottom turn, plus emphasizing the importance that it literally sets up every good maneuver. Thank you!
This vid really helped me out
I was trying to do too much on my take off, and not focusing on getting to the bottom and making a turn.
But this vid straightened me out.
Thanks
I know I am kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released movies online?
@Damon Anders try flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Harley Jesiah yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :D
@Harley Jesiah Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it!
@Damon Anders You are welcome :D
I was looking for top turn vid first. I'm embarressed, i was not using my arm back to coil up, that means more to me than hearing to twist.. I finally get it. and how important that arm is to winding us up. Thank you!! i can pay 5 bucks!
I seriously love this channel! Great content!!!!
That Bandida/Medina is a pretty shape!
Great clean technique! From this video I can improve a lot even I'm a rider of a team. I need a coach like you!

@@surfnshowreviews7777 thanks! I'll think about! ;)
Great stuff, will definitely sign up for your Patreon to access the other videos!
3:56 Beyond vertical!!! 😱🔥
You are awesome. Thank you for putting out such epic content. I always learn something new when i watch youe videos.
thanks so much for posting. These are super helpful tips. Really appreciate it.
Such a great surf coach 🙌🏼
I look forward to your tutorial on floaters
Thanks for showing goofy too!
I also think that there’s a specific type of bottom turn for every specific top turn. Your doing a really deep separated from the wave in the flats type of bottom turn for that vertical hit. But for cutbacks sometimes the bottom turn isn’t as critical and you project more out into the shoulder rather than straight up into the lip. I feel this is what makes good surfing difficult...not just being able to bottom turn but choosing the right one
Great surfer + great teacher
Agreed
Thanks, man. Very helpful!
Such a great channel !!!
I'm waiting for your frontside 360 tutorial. It's so counterintuitive to turn into the wave going frontside. I usually make the first 180 by releasing my skegs and then flattening my board out again, but then my skegs usually don't re-engage into the wave and the wave goes under me.
Soon... I want to get a solid foundation in the fundamentals before we start getting into tricks.
It's easiest to use the white wash of the wave breaking as momentum to finish the 180 into a 360.
One tip that might help is riding a finless board. They're a lot of fun and doing a 360 frontside feels more natural than backside nd it's really easy it'll get you used to the motion.
Hi Noel! I'm going to sign up for the Patreon tutorials. Seems like a really good deal. Is it going to be more episodes every month? And is the charge recurring every month? Thanks for you tutorials! Your very detailed!
Jeremiah Crutcher Stoked you liked it. Yes, we do Tutorials a month for our Patrons and the charge is $5.00 USD every month. You can stop anytime you want. Check out the other episodes there after you join our Family.
Amazing content! Thanks
Why not simply create the clip for regulars and then make another export of the clip flipped for the goofy footers but keep graphics un-flipped. And release each video as goofy or regular. Sometimes feels a bit repetetive for me. But worldclass anyway. Just a thought :-)
Great Noel, thanks for those videos!! I was wondering if you plan to give some advice on foot placement. There's not so much out there on this issue which is critical to perform any maneuver. It would be great to have some clues from you on foot placement. Keep ripping!
awsome thank u
Great Noel!!!!
Hey Noel! Great videos, these series are amazing! I loved the way you really structure the movement and go step by step, the thing about the amount of weight we should put in each leg was gold! Learning a lot. A question: Since is very difficult, while surfing to understand if we are doing things correctly what we should watch for when doing correct or incorrect frontside bottom turns? For example, should we fill some projection to the top of the wave, no speed loss, etc. it’s not an easy question, I know.. Thanks a lot and keep it up!
Doing a solid bottom turn you will notice more speed coming out of it and going into your tops turns. I suggest you become a Patron and watch the whole series. We cover everything as we go deeper in each topic.
Thanks
I struggle with leaning too much into the bottom turn and I’ll end falling forward in the direction I want to turn or I’ll catch rail coming back up the face. Could you talk a bit about shoulder rotation and how you can set the rail?

Back arm must be forward(speed generating) when going down the wave, so you can(must) throw it back(from forward position) when doing the bottom turn thus increasing bottom turn projection. Then when you reach the lip you can(must) throw your back arm front again, powering your turn and facilitating the tail pivoting in the lip. Back arm proper use can better your surfing like no other thing. So, get up on the board, put your back arm forward until you reach the base of the wave, pedal energize, throw your back arm back(opening your chest) to do the bottom, then throw it back front to help pivot your tail in the lip. this is surfing. Backside surfing is right the opposite.
wdym its the opposite for backside surfing?
Hey Noel - curious how you go about filming yourself in the water? Would be great to get footage of myself to improve but haven't found anything that works well yet. Thanks!
Are you planning a review on the Lost sub driver 2.0?
bilbo baggins Yes... just waiting for boards to come in
Great instructional video, Noel! Do you put your back foot all the way back on the tail pad on the takeoff or adjust it before hitting your turns? I tend to be front footed on the takeoff and been struggling with moving my back foot back far enough to hit those quick beach break sections that jump out at you right after the takeoff. Also, when taking off, does your back foot land on the board first or your front foot, or both at the same time? I wish you can talk a bit about the movements/ adjustments you do in between turns down at the bottom to maintain speed and drive (movements at 5:29' before compressing into the bottom turn). Double pump bottom turn, maybe?
Yuno mi I usually adjust my footing to the need of the wave or maneuver I want to do. If the wave is fast from take off then my back foot is up in front of my traction pad then I move it back to hit the turns. If the wave is slower.... then I will drop in with my foot back all the way to hit a solid bottom turn.
Not sure about which one of my feet hits the board first. I think they hit at the same time. I will pay more attention to that next time I paddle out.
What kind of board/review is that @ 2:17 with the orange bottom??? Liked the way you flipped it for Goofy footers.
(Another sick informative vid!)
👊🤙💪💯
Shannon Young The orange bottom board is the Storms board by SharpEye Surfboards. That board review is up next.
What are the exact dimensions of those two boards either side of the presenter? They look ideal
All board dims are in the You Tube comment field below.
love this Vidoe! One question, do you put your back foot at the end of the pad right after you pop up? I surf small and mushy beach break most of the time and I don't know if I would lose speed when I do that. Thank you
If you want more precise turns then get that foot all the way back. If you are comfortable with moving your back foot around to gain speed and move it back quickly to do sharp turns then I suggest doing that especially in small mushy waves. If your foot is more forward on your traction pad and your turns feel sharp enough in the small waves then keep it the same to maximize speed. If you find yourself bogging through turns but surfing fast.... then you might want to adjust that a bit with moving your back foot further on the pad .
Darren Lin I move my back foot around a bunch. It’s up forward down the line to maximize speed then all the way back for precise turns.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Thanks for your reply Noel! I usually put my foot on the very front point of my traction pad when I pop up and I feel my turns are not sharp enough. So maybe I should put it in the middle when I pop up, right?
Darren Lin Pop up and practice getting it all the way back for now so you can get used to sharp turns. If the waves are fast then scoot it up a bit.... but you gotta get it all the way back for epic turns.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Brother, any chance you're going to review the new Glazer by Firewire (Machado)? Curious to see how it compares to the Seaside. As always, love your videos and reviews.
Frontside bottom turn is easier than backside...
Sometimes it‘s hard to make a good turn when it‘s backside, any tips?
Learn to sit down over your back foot on your backside bottom turns. Grab a Carver and go skate a little bank or bowl and wok on sitting down over your back foot.
I watch these videos and realize what a kook I am and maybe I got into surfing way to late in life😔 Noel rips!!
Couldn't you do a surf edit of you and your grate surfing style for goofy..? Thanks!!
I flipped the footage so I am surfing both regular and goofy for our community.
Unreal 23 years plus ago, Martin Dunne - Co started this.
This is Good tho
Need to get a drink and see if I can spot your Ferrari - yeeeewwwwww
Hey Noel have loved all your series and thanks for the replies to my questions. If I subscribe (become a patron) will the videos always be available to me in the future even if I was no longer a patron? Finally do you think cx trucks are better than cx for the surf training? I tried both but went cx as was riding the board in a skate park at times thanks again stoke from the uk Jon 🤙
Patreon is pretty simple... you pay $5.00 for the month and get access to our exclusive content. If you stop paying the $5.00 then your access is over to.
The CXTruck pivots a bit quicker and the C7 truck has more flow like surfing. The CX truck might be better for the parks.... it just depends how your skating the parks really.
Also can u tell you tell me the purpose of a beak nose n do you think it’s worth getting one on the rusty blade
A beak nose has more foam... it’s really about keeping more floatation throughout the board... for better paddling.
Noel, u day at the 3:00 mark that when u take off you’re looking at the bottom of the wave. Shouldn’t I be looking down the line???
If the wave gives you time to go to the bottom and do a deep bottom turn so you can surf vertical in the pocket then you don’t want to look down the line. Now if the wave is really fast then you might not have time to look down and make a deep bottom turn and surf vertical in the pocket.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 thanks so much for the two replies. I have a carver called da monster which is great and a Surfskate board I really need to practice and get back in shape which video of yours, has the most skate instruction. Also have you tried the Surfskate boards? If so which do u prefer? Overall he carver is a much better board to skate and ride just in general, but I think if I can get some specific training videos the Surfskate is a better trainer. But im not sure my monster carver has the newer trucks you talk about. Does it make that much of a difference? I know I asked a ton of questions, but it’s time for me to get back into surfing just need some help.
When is it that your back arm is in front of you and even touching the water with the palm when doing a bottom turn? Is it when the BT is really deep?
In your snap video you say the back arm has to be behind you to coil up, but you see a bunch of surfers having it in front of them before hitting the lip
Just now after years i notice in this vídeo that you can surf facing the wave tô the left or rigth.no back side surf
I flipped the footage in my editing software to help the goofy footers in our community
@@surfnshowreviews7777 but how is possible cause to the left you rigth leg is in the back of the board but to the rigth you left leg is in the back of the board, the software does that also ? change the back foot legs in the board ?
@@carloslukather6658 Yes... it’s a mirrored effect
My Daughter used to count just like you 🤣
Not related to the topic but i see you have a lot of wetsuits which one do you like the most ?
Roi Rabinek Xcel Comp X
So I've been really focusing on improving my bottom turns, and cant thank you enough for this vid, but i'm having an issue where I will kind of bog out and lose my inside edge when my foot is all the way back and I'm going for a hard bottom turn. Any suggestions? Again, thank you so much for these videos
Hard to tell without seeing some video on your difficulty. If your foot is all the way back where do you feel the board bog down at. In the nose area of the board, middle of the board, or more towards the tail?
@@surfnshowreviews7777 it bogs down in back. Yeah I think I need some footage...gonna hop on your patreon
Pythagorus himself would be proud of your triangles!
Yewwwwww
Wait, you can surf goofy and regular? Wow.
haha at first i thought the same but if you pay attention you can see he reversed the video its the same wave ride
Great show...thx.but always protect your body when u ride carver.
No double pumps please.
Check out this short Surf Bottom Turn tutorial video! ua-cam.com/video/0fUN1aNqyfU/v-deo.html
You need to just do the turn, don't do a double pump, looks weak
Never noticed this but you don't have a backside, do you? You take off facing the wave on both sides. Is that true?
he just reversed the footage
@@gabrielalves831 Got it. Thought about that.
@@hwork50 if he surfed like that from both sides he would be more legend than he is
Dan Mann only rides frontside! Really interesting to watch and never thought about doing that🤙🏻
You are a very good surfer i an learning off of you i can do a bottom turn i just want to improve. You are helping me follow my dreams what is to be either a pro surfer or a really good surfer thank you!! 👍
Great video, great channel, best explanation for bottom turn ever ! All the words you use make sense - cheers from French California, I fell as one of your community 🤟🏻
Very useful tutorial! Thank you! It's an interesting detail, but I love the precision with placing the cones. Very useful to have standard of measurement of what a turn should feel like and the range of motion it should entail.
Thx Noel, your videos are super helpful. I have a question, not sure if anyone else experiences this, but too often I slide-out on my frontside bottom turns ( backs foot slides out, fins give = face plant), especially when the waves are good. Unfortunately, I dont have any video but I wonder what I am doing wrong. I definitely feel the intense toe gripping. hahah
Do you think it is a matter of not going into the flats enough and trying to bottom turn in a more critical area?
Any insight would be much appreciated. Thx man!
-Chris
Hard to say without seeing some clips… however I suggest you drive your bottom turns heavily off your back foot so you can keep your fins engaged.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Thx so much for the reply. will keep this in mind!
Noel, will this series also cover backside bottom turns? I really like your vids, by the way. Keep 'em coming. Oh, and thanks for the mirror imaging for us goofies. I really appreciate it.

Good tips man,
I’ve got a weird question,
I’ve wanted to get a surf skate to improve on technique, only problem is i am a goofy surfer but a natural skater,
I’m assuming this would be counterproductive?
I think it would be great.... I would practice on a Carver for understanding. One thing is knowing what’s right.... it’s another thing to feel it and make it a habit. Use a Surfskate to feel and practice proper technique then translate that in the water even if you skate Natural and Surf Goofy Footed. Leading to shift your weight from front to back will translate well. The mind is powerful and it will adjust in my opinion.
Surf n Show Reviews thanks for the advice, I think I will use a surf skate!
The videos are sick btw
if you also including on how you catch the waves, that will be awesome!
Kale Brock has a good channel for that :)
noel salas is the david goggins of surf
The baron of gaza strip. Old school boards were so much better! More litters destroying the board flexibility and so as epoxy, hyfi dump and so on
