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.

They seem fun.
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.
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.

You might also need a new leash if it’s too bent
