Doing a Top Turn

01/05/2008

Coming off the top, knowing you're about to drive down the face and into another section.

The point where you really feel like you’re owning the wave. You can see what’s ahead, who is paddling out watching you, and you’re already thinking about what to do next.

The top turn is what you want it to be. Vertical, horizontal, tight, extended, loose, fast, lazy, fins out, floating, a means to an end. Whatever. Works best when immediately following a nice bottom turn.
