Definition : Re-entry

Dernière mise à jour le 19 December 2023

Definition: The re-entry is a manoeuvre in which the surfer attacks the lip of the wave and then is really sent back down the wave by the lip. So there's a moment of real suspension as the lip starts again.

This maneuver further increases speed.

It's also worth noting that re-entry in English actually means roller(a term we use in French only).

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!
