You guys gonna go for a surf? Cool. Aloha, my name is Pancho Sullivan. Today we're gonna be talking about how to perform a lay back snap. It’s a power maneuver but you know it's got so many different applications to mix it up the monotony of just doing a basic carve off the top. The entire maneuver is set up, you know, through the bottom turn. As you're going up you pick your spot on the lip. When you pick the spot that you want to do your turn, just like a normal reentry you kind of pick a spot on the face of the wave, you know, usually under the lips say a foot or maybe even two.
As you go into the turn your just shifting so hard from your bottom turn of all that that weight coming off of
your back foot. You kind of want to drive through that and then you let your back arm fall back and then really push with your legs and push the board away from you. It's finding the right pressure that you can apply to the board and still be able to hold the rail in and can have the board come back up under your feet. As you complete the turn you always want to finish up where the board ends up back up underneath you and your shoulders are square over the top of the stringer and then try to project out of it. Yeah it's a turn that you can apply into all types of waves and I guess it's considered more of an old-school move but still see a lot of guys doing them and it's a progressive maneuver, you know, with an old-school flair.
I guess that's where the term laid-back comes into play as when you kind of rotate your upper body, your torso, in the opposite direction that your legs and the board's going so you know your sort of laying back on the face of the wave and pushing the rail out away from you and you can really lay it out or you can stay a little tighter over the top of your board and you can really toy with the technique a little bit and different variations to the angles and the length of the turn. I think when it comes to the laid-back snap i think repetition is probably the key. Repetition and just sticking with the maneuver and continuing to try it. And don't be afraid to go into the turn and look a little goofy because eventually you iron out the kinks and you will figure out like exactly what kind of pressure you can apply to
that turn.

The best move in surfing, taught by a master of the move.
Pancho's the man for this tutorial.
A key to putting more power into your turns is not collapsing your rear knee forward. keeping your stance open.
best lay backs in the business , full on beast
he was my hero growing up... I got my nickname doing laybacks "Buckets"
old school maneuver???
i see john john, medina and wilson doing that on almost all wt championships!
I came back to this video because I just watched John John clinch a world title with one of the best layback hacks I've ever seen
right now, these tips are awesome!
Great surfing !! Thanks for the tips.
Great tip! Thanks..
its so beautiful
So I’ve been trying them, lots of times I seem to flop on my back or I windup on my back trying to get the board back under me. Eventually I’ll nail it down. I think I’m making progress, any tips? Maybe more speed down the line.
Epic surfer!
ya man, you gotta have alot of strength in your front leg hamstring/ quad, more so the back of your thigh cause you use that muscle most to really pull the board back under you, like when you snap out and maybe you back foot comes off, then its all on your front leg and using the wave to push you back up over you board at the same time. so stretching becomes useful at this point.
fun! that's it
Sick
What kind of hands on carve can I do backside then?
Easy fundamental move.
i can throw some buckets on my laybacks its just gettin back up that's the hard party
Most DTE Hawain pro surfer (maybe the only one)
old school means it was started way back
no skate sou uma basse e no surf sou outra tem algum problema
anyone got any tips on how to do this? If feels awkward having my legs twist in one direction and my upper body in another. I can do the layback sometimes, but I can't get up haha.
song pleaseee
Im a huge Pancho Sullivan fan but Jay Larson was the layback master
I remember Ratboy telling the crowd to take some notes as he kicked out of a wave, I'm defiantly taking mental notes from this video. the comments below by "hush poop" need to be deleted !!
chee heee!
How to lay back
He just put's his hand in the water 😂
Jude Bell never said I could do it or do it better, I was just stating that's not what a layback looks like at all bud
clayback....
A clayback is a front side layback in the barrel.
He doesn't even lay back in the face of the wave...
Slush Pup please shut up, your talking about the most powerful layback snap on the open face of wave in surfing still to this moment. Andrew doheny or any this new school surfers do it lightly, they throw the board away from them but barely spray any water at all. The only surfer who has the technique of a powerful layback snap that could be compared to sullivan is fanning
Wtf? Killed it and jts a snap
dont like this move,
Andrew doheny does better laybacks then this dude
