How to transform your turns (For Beginners)

In this video, we reveal our top ten turning mistakes (part of our "Turning for Beginners" course on tutorials.barefootsurftravel.com).
Understanding those mistakes can help you fix your turns and bring your surfing to the next level. Many of these errors are counterintuitive and aren't necessarily about the turning mechanics but the foundations you need to turn properly. Watch closely because these are the most common mistakes we've seen through over a decade of teaching surfers worldwide, and they can hold your surfing back for years!

Where your eyes go, your board will follow- that was the best piece of advice in the video. It’s so true. And don’t forget to breatheeeeee

[@barefoot_surf]

It’s so true isn’t it!

[@AArmstrongC]

Would love to see good surfers doing the things correctly right after the beginners doing it wrong. Thanks for the video!

[@barefoot_surf]

Thanks for your feedback, that makes total sense. 🙏🏼

good stuff

[@danielbinisti1913]

Thx for thay gold video. I wish I was living close to a wave spot like sydney, but I live in Melbourne and do some strapless kiteboarding. I found the turning techniques explained here very useful on flat water with a kite, thank you so much. Any objective of getting into "surfing with a kite" lessons, guys ?

Do i have to learn on a longboard before progressing into a shortbread?

[@barefoot_surf]

You don’t have to, but it makes the process a lot easier. When learning on a shortboard, it is easy to pick up bad habits…
