That's the one. I'm just starting to practice cutbacks.  When I get those down, I'll be at the next level.

Excellent pics.

Cutbacks are fun, but day in, day out - cross-stepping to the nose is my favorite.

Did you pick up a Surrator, lopezwill?  Isn't it amazing!?!?

Zooport...that's me in my dreams.  I love that cutback!  Only done a few close to that in my lifetime.

805  Have not picked up the Surrator yet but I did order one...should arrive soon.  I got the 9'10" as I'm heavy.  I plan to use it this winter in anything over head high.

Ahh... I thought the photo was you!  The 9'10 should be good for bigger surf.  It is almost like a slightly mini gun and super responsive when you take your foot back.  One of my friends moved from another brand's 8'10 to the Surrator 9'10 and finds it just as responsive as the smaller board with more glide and stability which is what he was looking for.

This was one of the easiest waves I ever caught.  Then it turned into a death drop.

One of my favorites because I survived it.

More of an experience than a maneuver, or a long maneuver that turns out to be an experience.
Always wanted to try this "maneuver".
It takes a quiver to do that.

Growing up in the Bustin' Down the Door era, I was always influenced by straight ahead power surfing...hard bottom turns...off the lips...cutbacks...and, always l@@king for a barrel...
I also find no paddle take-offs...laybacks...nose rides...switching feet...gouging backside bottom turns and cutbacks are all SUPer fun...it's all good...

Late drop on an overhead wave and a hard bottom turn. Always feels like WAHOO!! to me. Someday I'll cutback hard enough to knock some spray off the top, but ten years in, my cutbacks are pretty cheeseball.

Of course, if my foiling addiction continues I don't know what will happen. I didn't surf hardly at all last winter.

what he said...

Late drop...feel the woosh



(or a  floater....big wide bords are good for that)
Too many for the rack
Some in the shack
Some under decks
Some have straps
