Definition : Cutback

Definition: Le cutback est la manoeuvre de référence pour pouvoir gagner de la vitesse quand l’épaule n’est pas suffisament longue. Elle consiste à former un 8 dans l’eau.

Il faut d’abord remonter en haut de vague pour revenir à l’intérieur en fléchissant les jambes et en plantant le bras pour revenir en arrière.

La manoeuvre permet de revenir à l’endroit critique de la vague pour taper à nouveau la lip and set off again with greater speed.

Born in the hustle and bustle of Paris, Samuel Rosemain first explored the city on his skateboard. His life changed at the age of 13, when he moved to Martinique.

Between the waves of La Caravelle in Tartane and the hidden spots of Sainte-Marie, he discovered his new passion: surfing.

After five years at sea, Samuel turned to marketing while staying close to the ocean. He created Surf Tribe, a website merging his career and his passion for surfing, offering a platform for knowledge and sharing about the sport and its culture.

Because surfing is above all a tribe!
