Surf Academy November 20, 2024

 

Today, we’ll show you how to do a frontside carve 🏄‍♂️

Step 1 – When you’re high on the wave, look ahead to the section where you want to perform the frontside carve and choose the line for your bottom turn.

Step 2 – Get low and lean into the wave to perform your bottom turn.

Step 3 – To begin your carve, lean back to engage your heel-side rail.

Step 4 – Drive your surfboard through the rotation by looking over your shoulder and bringing your back arm across your body.

Step 5 – Finish compressed and low to your board to keep your balance and prepare for your next maneuver.
