The Cutback

proper front side cutback
you can tell if a surfer has a good front side cutback or not by the way he "SQUARES " his shoulders


if you draw a line from right shoulder to my left shoulder, the angle should match the angle of the board on the water


you can see the angle of the water on the bottom of board matches the angle of the girls shoulders. also notice her right hand is higher than her left hand


hard to see here, but notice the inside hand is higher than the outside hand.
my shoulder matches the same angle has the board's deck


you can see here a more classical drop knee cutback , but same proper shoulder's "Squared" to the board . also notice where he is looking.

here Hiro is powering through a front side cutback. Eyes looking through the turn, inside hand higher than the outside hand, shoulders square to the board
( see the bottom of the board matches Hiro's shoulders exactly

YOU CAN CAN DO A GOOD FRONT SIDE CUTBACK TOO !!
