Surfing / Popular
Return to the power source with rail control, rotation, and rebound timing.
What coaches agree on
- On a fat or slow section, ride the cutback all the way back into the whitewater - it pushes and redirects your board, launching you into the next section with a burst of speed.
- Look and point your leading arm at your target, the whitewater or the foam, and let your board follow your eyes and arm through the rotation.

- Get low and compressed as you set up and drive through the turn, then extend your body to release that power at the finish.
