Master This Speed Boosting Manoeuvre To Improve Your Surfing - The Oomph Turn

🏄‍♀️ Master This Speed Boosting Maneuver To Improve Your Surfing | Surf Strategy Tips by Women + Waves** 🏄‍♀️
Hey there, surfers! It's Kirsty from Women + Waves, and today, we're unraveling the art of wave takeoffs. When that wave starts to shape up in front of you, you've got decisions to make. Let's explore your options and refine your wave-riding skills for those unforgettable surf sessions.
🌊 1. The Bottom Turn vs. The Oomph Turn:**
When faced with a walling wave, you've got two main options: the classic bottom turn or the dynamic oomph turn. While the bottom turn maximizes a wave's potential by setting you up for manoeuvres, the oomph turn offers a swift return to the wave's peak, ideal for navigating smaller waves or targeting sections down the line.
🤿 2. Mastering the Oomph Turn:**
To execute the perfect oomph turn, maintain a low stance upon takeoff, with your weight centred over your front foot. As the wave lifts, lean onto your toes, driving your weight back and extending upward in a jumping motion. Propel your board towards the wave's crest, ready to initiate your next move. Check out Alice Barton's flawless oomph turn for inspiration!
🔄 *3. Avoiding Common Mistakes:*
Steer clear of surfing aimlessly in the middle of the wave or dropping to the bottom without committing to a bottom turn. And remember, while the oomph turn is a valuable tool, don't overlook opportunities for a well-timed bottom turn. Stay adaptable and choose your manoeuvres wisely based on wave conditions and your surfing goals.
🏄‍♀️ *4. Perfecting Your Practice:*
Dedicated practice makes perfect. Head out to the lineup with a clear focus on mastering the oomph turn. Start by honing your technique on waves, then take it to dry land with surf skate sessions. Embrace the learning process and watch your surfing skills soar.
