Here, you’ll learn how to perform one of the most aggressive and expressive manoeuvres in surfing. Unlike a carve or a cutback, which flow along the wave, the snap is about exploding off the top of the wave with speed and sharp rotation.

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

It’s all about rotating fast, slinging the fins/wheels, and staying in control. And like everything in surfing, improvement comes with practice. The more you train, the sharper, more powerful, and smoother your snaps will feel.
