BOTTOM TURN DRILLS

Drill: We will send you out into the surf for 20 minutes. Ask them to perform the best quality bottom turns they can do on the waves they catch. Score the bottom turns:

3 points for an excellent bottom turn (good lean, hand touching the wave face, flexed body)

2 points for an average bottom turn (good lean, straight body)

1 point or a poor bottom turn (poor lean, straight body)

RE-ENTRY DRILL

Drill: We will send you out into the surf for 20 minutes. Ask them to perform the best quality re-entries they can do on the waves they catch. Score the re-entries:

3 points for an excellent re-entry (surfboard is vertical as it impacts the lip) 2 points for an average re-entry (surfboard has an angle pointing down the line as it impacts the lip)

1 point for a poor re-entry (surfboard doesn’t impact with the lip with little power and verticalness. This type of re-entry is characterised by the surfer getting momentarily “caught” as they come off the top of the wave )

CUTBACK DRILL

CUTBACK DRILLS

Drill: We will send you out into the surf for 20 minutes. Ask them to perform the best quality cutbacks they can do on the waves they catch. Score the cutbacks:

3 points for an excellent cutback (surfboard rebounds vertically off the foam rebound)

2 points for an average cutback (surfboard impacts with the foam but not with any height)

The technique for performing the “layback” snap is” Perform a quality bottom turn Lean backwards before reaching the top of the wave, touch the wave face with the trailing hand, and continue to look down the line. The momentum from the preceding bottom turn will re-centre the surfer over the surfboard

you find it necessary
