Definition: Bottom turn

Definition: Le bottom turn est l’une des manoeuvres cruciales en surf, qui consiste en la compression des jambes et le virage en bas de vague pour remonter vers le haut de vague.

It is just as important as the manoeuvre that follows.

Un très bon bottom turn offrira une bonne manoeuvre tels qu’un roller or a cut-back.

C’est aussi l’une des premiers mouvements à maîtriser.
