Last year on a 3 month trip surfing all forehand points, i focused hard on improving my forehand surfing. Its night and day how i was bottom turning and this was exactly what i focused on and what lead to such radical improvement.

In this video, I break down the exact cues that separate intermediate surfers from advanced surfers — and how to apply them instantly to your own surfing.
If your bottom turns feel weak, rushed, or don’t set you up properly for your top turn, this is likely where you’re going wrong.
We cover:
How to compress properly (and why it creates speed)
Where to look to go more vertical
How to use your trailing arm for maximum rotation
How to time your “spring” out of the bottom turn
Proper shoulder positioning for lift and control
The bottom turn is the foundation of every great manoeuvre in surfing. Get this right, and everything else — top turns, cutbacks, flow — becomes easier and more powerful.
This is one of the biggest progression steps you can make as an intermediate surfer.

A lot of beginners, like myself, gravitate towards bigger boards for stability and paddle speed, but they don't maneuver in the same way as a shortboard. I would love to hear your explanation on how to improve my bottom turn!
