Master complex maneuvers, high-speed positioning, and executing critical turns in the pocket. For surfers consistently riding steep, fast waves.
Shannon Ainslie reveals the secret to explosive frontside speed: utilizing the top half of the wave (the energy zone) and generating momentum by lifting both the front and back feet off the water.
Kale Brock reveals micro movements like the “umph turn” and double pump to dramatically increase speed, focusing on accelerating down the wave after the turn using immediate compression.
Mick Fanning shares his top tips for generating speed, focusing on utilizing the whole wave face (top to bottom), avoiding wiggling in the middle, and using the crunch-low, stand-high technique for a smooth glide.
Surf Simply breaks down the physics of surfing speed and grip, explaining how the surfboard rail acts as a hydrodynamic foil to create lift and forwards thrust (Newton’s third law).
This tutorial breaks down the physics of the pumping technique, detailing how compression/decompression and angular momentum are used to accelerate up the wave face like a vert skater.
Coach Martin Dunn breaks down the backhand re-entry, emphasizing rotation before impact, the torque force needed to start the turn, and the final push and compression on the way down.
Josh Kerr teaches the key techniques to gaining more time in the transition to the frontside re-entry, helping you cruise into a clean maneuver and exit with power.
Kale Brock explains the key difference between a re-entry and a cutback, focusing on which maneuver is dependent on the wave section and the correct shortened, intensified rotational technique for each.
This tutorial breaks down the forehand re-entry into 3 fundamental solutions: getting the front foot above the lip, twisting before impact, and compressing low to complete the turn.
This tutorial breaks down and fixes the biggest paddling mistakes, focusing on the practical application of technique, increasing paddle efficiency, and getting past the waves without wasting energy.
