Red Bull’s Top 5 Surfing Techniques: Expert Advice and ‘How-To’ Insights From Josh Kerr

Are you up for some challenging and spine-thrilling experiences? Then surfing should be at the top of your list. But first of all, keep in mind that it is not as simple as it looks; rather, it's quite tricky. Before commencing the journey above the waves, let's dive in to learn the tricks from the professional Josh Kerr.

Bottom Turn

Bottom turn is one of the most commonly used poses among the surfers. The fundamental tips for acing the technique are bending the knees and dropping the hip down; while keeping this position, the surfer needs to lean forward to maintain a balance with gravity.

Snap

In a snap, the surfer rides on the top of the wave from the bottom turn-up position, keeping a 30-50-degree angle. In this process, the surfer needs to choose the appropriate wave to perform the ride.

360

In this move, you will rotate completely in front of the wave. To perform this, start with being at the bottom turn position, keep your eyes locked on the wave's position, count the exact moment, and sense when your board gets the poke from the wave to leap and spin.

Air

Another renowned move chosen by the experts is where the surfer needs to choose a wave with steeps, offering the position of the jump, then avoid going deep in the wave and bend your body down near the board, as this will help you generate the required energy and then perform the leap targeting the ideal spot in the wave.

Cutback

The cutback is when the surfer can reduce the speed to change the direction. To perform this, you can start by composing your back arm around the front arm and maintaining the position, then transform your weight from back to front and perform the cutback, understanding the proper timing.
