Step 2
Begin a bottom turn from the center of the wave face.

Step 3
Drift on your surf board towards the lip at a 20 or 30 degree angle.

Step 4
Stay low and center your gravity over your back foot once you are on the curling lip and then shift your weight from your back foot's toe to heel edge once on the roof of the lip.

Ride off the falling lip or air off heavier waves. Brace yourself to land by placing your board flat against the wave face while keeping a wide stance with knees bent to absorb the shock of landing.

-
Step 1
Follow the steps 1 through 5 as listed in the above section.
