Surfing Huge Waves

• Cutback: Generating speed down the line and then turning up the face to reverse direction. Has the effect slowing the rider down to keep up with slower wave sections that appear after a fast section, for example a drop in.
• Floater: Popping up on the lip the wave and coming down with the lip. Can be used at the end a wave when the wave section is closing out. Very easy and popular on small waves.
• Top-Turn: Simple turn f the top the wave. Used sometimes to generate speed and sometimes to shoot spray.
• Air / Aerial: Popping up over the lip into the air. Many types include ollies, lien airs, method airs, and other skateboard airs.
