Learn how to do your first cutback turn on a surfboard. Many of us learn to surf on soft boards because they’re easy to catch waves on, but doing turns on them can be a rather tricky. We’re going to break down, step by step, how to begin turning your surfboard.
In this video, we’ll look at a turn done going backside (with your back towards the breaking wave) on a 9’2” soft top board. We will break down how to set yourself up for the turn, where to place your feet, and how you use your whole body to successfully turn a surfboard.
We hope these tips helps you start doing your first few turns!

Short yet very informative. Thank you!
So chilll
At 1:23 am I suppose to stand like that if I’m left footed would it be turned around if I was right footed? Like the opposite
So the key to turning a longboard is to make it a shortboard
From what I have know, when you make a turn on shortboard/hard longboard are supposed to lean to the side and set rail, your video shows differently, does that mean leaning and set rail doesn’t apply on softtop?
Great video. Simplicity is the best method sumtimes.
This should be entered into the "best short video on surfing" award – so so helpful, thank you v much
Short & simple, this is good, thank you!
Ur cute !
Great tips! What kind of board is the 9’2?
When you’re turning your shoulders and head, do you also lean either on your toes or heels to help with the turn?
I’m so impressed with the animations on your videos! Very helpful.
may God bless you all✝️
