Here, you’ll learn how to perform one of the most dynamic manoeuvres in surfing. Now it’s time to go more vertical on the wave, turning sharply at the top maintaining speed and flow, almost like doing a kickturn on the lip. Unlike carves or cutbacks, which flow along the wave, the re-entry adds power and direction change at the top.

We’ll break down both frontside and backside re-entries, and you’ll train on land, with and without your surfskate, to truly understand the feeling of it.

It’s all about pivoting with your back foot, rotating your body, and staying in control. And like everything in surfing, improvement comes with practice. The more you train, the more vertical, explosive, and controlled your re-entries will feel.
