In this in-depth video Kale shows you How To Surf: Turning Your Surfboard. This is a really important topic to begin looking at because literally everything in surfing comes back to the ability to turn on a wave. Turning on a wave allows us to chase and stay within the 'power zone' and to perform the manoeuvres we wana' perform! Turning on a surfboard must always be considered a whole-body movement, not just a segmented process of the legs, torso or shoulders, but a kinetic chain of events linking together all three.

The waves in this beach seems to be always so perfect, it's a little small but very consistent and clean. Where do you surf mate? Cheers from Brazil!

Letspsych - 5 years ago

I got in the habit of moving my front arm and foot too much. I noticed pro surfers moves the back arm. How do I switch?

Michael Wilson - 5 years ago

Will you please make one to teach us how to do chop hops?
They seem fun.

How to Rip - 5 years ago

No. Never. Ever. Chop hop.

I've got into the habit of doing a half-hearted cutback when I ride toe-side. I start it and my back foot comes around (like a check-turn in snowboarding) but then I struggle to twist my head and upper body through the movement without losing my balance, so I end up looking down the line and can't complete the cutback. It's not an issue heel-side as I don't need to look over my shoulder when rotating (if that makes sense?). I'll give that squat stretch/exercise a go, might remind me to engage my back and head during that rotation through the turn, but if you have any other tips I'd really appreciate it?

Kales Broccoli - 5 years ago

A SmoothStar would help too

Alex Yap - 5 years ago

hi, thank you once again for an awesome video, i was wondering what size fishboard would you recommend for someone who is 5'7" height and around 55kg-60kg weight (does height and weight matter at all?)

Alex Yap - 5 years ago

+Kales Broccoli thanks kales!

Kales Broccoli - 5 years ago

I disagree with moving to a fish quickly. Beginners should learn to turn longboards and midlengths before learning to turn on a fish. Their problem is usually standing in the middle of the longboard and attempting turns. Then they blame the longboard for being too big.

You touched on this but beginners typically focus way too much on the upper body and not on getting their back foot back far enough on the board. The back foot also shifts slightly up and down depending on the wave face.

Also, beginners dont know when to turn on the wave. I see people pump themselves off a wave and then try to cutback. Or they bottom turn on a closeout and get hit in the head.

You could make a video of just beginners and show what they do wrong on their turns.

Rob Lyon we do have a patreon and you can show support by subscribing to this channel too :)

Kales Broccoli - 5 years ago

It depends on who the beginner is. If it was an older person I’d recommend staying on a larger board I guess because they wouldn’t have the same alacrity as a younger beginner.

But, shifting from a big board to a smaller one cuts down the learning curve - I guess there are some things which need to be mastered like taking off, catching waves really easily and cutting across the face FIRST before the transition takes place.

Rob Lyon - 5 years ago

Yes! This is so true what Connor said- I do that all! Beginner mistakes on turning video PLEASE! Do you have a Patreon, Kale? Great production quality and music selection!!!

Awesome footage and tips! Did you nose dive with the board at 5:10? Also i got a random question, when ever I go for a session, my leash has a tendency to go between my between my stupid toes, my big toe seems like the culprit, (imagine if you were wearing havana flip flops, there), any idea what unique trick am I doing and how to fix? I have tried stretching my leash and it happens about every 10th wave

218maryland - 5 years ago

Tie it around your neck, works for me everytime

How to Rip - 5 years ago

Keep the leash straight and untangled in between surfs
You might also need a new leash if it’s too bent
