Excellent insights there from Kim, this is exactly where my surfing is at currently and I can relate 100%. I'm making my way through your videos and I can say that your information and delivery is of a high standard pretty much on par with a handful of the very best channels I've seen. I think you guys need to keep doing these together with more regularity as you've got a winning formula and I can see your channel being very successful. All the best.
Very helpful thanks. Another video on how to pump/leap back up the face before taking a highline after taking off would be great. This seems essential for smaller waves where a drawn out bottom turn isnt possible.
Great video! I think what you’re trying to describe with the car and motorcycle example is center of gravity. The lower the center of gravity (compressing down) such as a race car, the easier and tighter a turn you can make vs higher center of gravity (standing upright) such as an SUV or truck you’ll risk rolling over at that speed, requiring you to enter the turn at a slower and wider radius
Really great video guys! Does the back foot need to be far back for the bottom turn/snap? I pop up with back foot just in front of the pad (probably because I need speed in crap waves). Just wondering if there’s a tip for when to move that back foot about?
Hi Rob! Great question. Personally, I like to shuffle my foot back on my last pump before dropping down to set up for my bottom turn. I guess it all depends though, right? If you have a ton of time in bigger surf at a point break, you have way more time to adjust the foot. Smaller beach breaks make it much harder as you obviously have less time. But I would suggest trying to get the adjustment in at the top of the wave before initiating the bottom turn because if you make a little mistake in the adjustment, you still have some time to gain speed dropping down the face. Probably doesn't make a huge impact and really, I don't think it matters too much but should ideally be in your last pump before the bottom turn.
Maybe because wave time out here in FL is shit but did they say the easiest maneuver is a cutback? That's the last one i'm still trying to get down lmao
Typically a standard cutback is the first "top turn" maneuver to learn before a carve or snap. A standard cutback would just mean turning the board from the shoulder back toward the whitewater, then it gets more advanced when you want to make it roundhouse. But, progression is different for everyone!

I always watch your video tutorials ❤

Thanks for the feedback, I will try and get that for you
Great video guys. I appreciate the detail and “nuances”. Even this idea of spending the right amount of time in the trough.
You are welcome.. thank you for the feedback.. we will try to put more out like this

@@independentsurfer Thanks for the explanation! I guess i've been doing really crappy standard cut backs then xD
