The most important part of a bottom turn for me is that little pump ride before you go up to hit the lip that's where all the speed comes from. Watch Kelly slater do them when he gets caught in white wash it's absolutely insane
@MegaSurfNut thank you! cause you know, is many years i surf, when i go frontside i can make many things: offthelip, cutback, aerials etc... when i'm backside, sometimes i did offthelips, but many times i don't turn well... so you gave me a tip simple but very important, that i didn't think about: keep the weight backfoot! i'm an extreme frontfooter, so is not easy for me to think about the backfoot, and in the backside is very important as you tell me... thanks a lot! ;)
@cloud84strife Thats odd because most people find the backside bottom turn easier. This is due to the fact that all your pressure goes on your back foot heal. I find frontside much harder as all your pressure has to go on your toes.
dude me too. i watched this vid about 5 days ago and went surrfing all weekend, and not to brag, but im a pretty decent surfer (watch my vids), but backside, ill sometimes rush it and dig rail. but i tried waiting that extra second and i threw buckets more and kept the speed throughout the waves cause of the first bottom turn when i waited. 2:19 on ull see wat i mean. :)
Daggh, i can do frontside no problem and backside ok, but i end up loosing speed, is it because of my board? i got a 6'0 thunbtail and stabilizer fins :\ Tips on a new surfboard please? :\
push hard off your backfoot looking at the section you want to hit bend ur knees and look over your shoulder back facing the wave try it practice as much as u can
umm lets ee i can do a perfect bottom turn with a good size wave 1-3 feet thats just how i like it hear in sothern califonia and if you want to get crazy hear in california 2-3 footers i mean some people wont think thats that big but truste me it is im 12 and i cant do them!! Good Luck
and you'll see lots of water spraying from the other side when you make that bottom turn like "vssssshhhhhhhh" and when you are throwing buckets of water over on your first big turn you know you are doing your bottom turn right ! aha
just buy a board and go for it, the class's dont help too much there just like.... "this is how you get up". just buy a nice bouyant board and practice as much as you can.
Are you still having trouble dude? I reccomend pracing you're stance and visualizing where that front foot will be. Its not like the wax is not working you are probably just off balance.

the move every surfer must master to learn in order to improve!
Nice, clear explanation. I want to surfing now ...
This is the most important move in surfing! I'm still trying to improve my bottom turns. This is your foundation, without it, you'll suck.
Awesome dude, great tips!
good waves
so very helpful
thank yall so much
How do you prevent from digging the rail in too deep and stalling?
Dunnno o you tell me
Every surfer should watch 2:00 and on. That delay before the bottom turn allows you to do so much more.
Great tips. Thanks.
your style is super...
on the frontside i can do a nice botton turn, on the backside it sucks... any suggestion?
Great Tips , I really appreciate it
you should do this more offer
thanks for the tip

So I have a habit of paddling in and fist thing I do is grab my rail and crank it over but is this a bad habit or is it just simply part of my style?
Good video!

@brodouglas I didn't master my bottom turns yet, but after watching Kelly Slater, most of his weight seems to be on his back foot.
Board is a Dahlberg, shaped in Yamba, NSW Australia
nice post more of this
thankz for the tip
Thanks

Wish I would have watched this before filming yesterday lol More tips please! =]
how come when i do a bottom turn and get to the top of the wave i just fall backwards, is it because im not doing a good cutback
any size. big or small. better for ches high or head high waves though :D
Daggh, i can do frontside no problem and backside ok, but i end up loosing speed, is it because of my board? i got a 6'0 thunbtail and stabilizer fins :\
Tips on a new surfboard please? :\
Nice...
what are some good shortboards
also you must put your weight on your front foot producing more speed and power which draws into your top turn
Where did you get your board????
I wanna ask wht does releasing your tail mean? Like just take ur weight off the back foot?
push hard off your backfoot looking at the section you want to hit bend ur knees and look over your shoulder back facing the wave
try it practice as much as u can
Surfing is hard.
I try the wait thing but then the wave nails me in the head because I wait to long.
You basically drive all your power into your toes for frontside, and all your power into your heels for backside.
umm lets ee i can do a perfect bottom turn with a good size wave 1-3 feet thats just how i like it hear in sothern califonia and if you want to get crazy hear in california 2-3 footers i mean some people wont think thats that big but truste me it is im 12 and i cant do them!! Good Luck
is that only 1 piece of traction pad not 3 or something?
Tom should take his own advice!
Whats the song of the begining?
you live in florida?
Damn ... I got my backhand bottom turn, but I can't seem to get the frontside down yet. ... Bummer. =(
what kind of board is that PLEASE HELP???
any size
when you slide down a wave...bend your knees, point your nose up, and reach for the water on your way up
u will need to bottom turn more steeper, try get verctical. if you do a steep bottom turn on the right section your turns should be fine
what board is this??what lengh???5'11 or something????
Right on WHits. Where is that? Too many boats to be indo, To small to be chopes!
Lol. MySpace.
Zap wedge or fish? 145 lbs 5'8"
