Definition: Bottom turn

Definition: The bottom turn is one of the crucial maneuvers in surfing, consisting of compressing the legs and turning at the bottom of the wave to climb back up to the top.

It is just as important as the manoeuvre that follows.

A very good bottom turn will offer a good maneuver such as a roller or a cut-back.

It's also one of the first movements to master.
