to do a really nice cutback, watch this girl i found on http://starb.on.coocan.jp/
she twists her body counter clock wise towards the wave. notice where her right hand is
she looks back through the turn and now twists her body clock wise. now her right hand is totally open - palm open leading through the turn. also see the great power line from her head through to her feet
here the riders arm is locked to the body and palm closed which makes it hard for his torso to twist. his body is also "broken" , hinged forward at the waist
here same thing - arm locked to the body and palm closed. hand is stiff and not leading the turn
clearly you can see the surfers' open palm as he drags his finger tips to gauge the angle of the turn and create a pivot point
his wrist wants to go right but his shoulder is showing left because it is closed not open
eyes are okay but her shoulder is restricting her neck from turning more. again wrist/palm closed.
see the surfers right arm flexing ? her inner elbow is fully open trying to almost bend backwards. this is awesome technique
