What are the surfing moves called?
11 surfing tricks every surfer should know
- Bottom Turn. “The bottom turn is where it all begins.
- Snap. The surfer moves from a bottom turn up to the top of the wave at a 30- to 50-degree angle.
- 360. Basically, you’ll fully rotate while on the face of the wave during this move.
- Air.
- Cutback.
- Foam Climb.
- Tube Ride.
- Alley Oop.
What is a layback in surfing?
Spine-twisting maneuver in which the surfer, during a frontside cutback or backside tuberide, bends the upper back and shoulders and”lays back” onto the wave face. The layback cutback was popularized by 1976 world champion Peter Townend of Australia.
What does Lotus mean in surfing?
our new forecasting model
LOTUS is our new forecasting model; the successor of LOLA. This new forecast model combines cutting edge prediction technology with NOAA’s Wavewatch III source code to give you more accurate wave forecasts.
What is a roundhouse in surfing?
A roundhouse cut-back is a cut-back that continues right around through an arc of 180 to 200 degrees. You would perform this when you are riding way out and up high on the open wave face, with speed. To bring you right around and back to the oncoming wave so you can return to the source of energy (at the waves curl).
What is a tailslide maneuver?
The tailslide is an aerobatic maneuver that starts from level flight with a 1/4 loop up into a straight vertical climb (at full power) until the aircraft loses momentum.
Are all airplanes capable of tailslide maneuvers?
Not all airplanes capable of aerobatics are also capable of tailslide maneuvers. The bell is a variation of the tailslide maneuver, with the only difference being that the pilot performs a roll in the longitudinal axis during the final 1/4 loop (push or pull) while recovering to level flight, out of plane.

What is a tailslide in airplanes?
Tailslides will transiently reverse the airflow on many aircraft surfaces, giving abnormal forces compared with forward flight. The control surface linkages must be able to handle these forces without damage or deformation. Not all airplanes capable of aerobatics are also capable of tailslide maneuvers.
