"Hi, my name's Mike Sanders and I'm going to tell you a little bit about turning on a surfboard. It's a pretty different task when it comes to short boards and long boards, but they can be defined, more or less, the same. What it really comes down to is your foot placement and your weight transfer. You want to make sure that you're good and stable on your board and usually, especially for short boards, you want your back foot over the fins because that's going to be where you're going to be, that's where you're pivoting off of to get the turn. So when you feel, when you feel the wave pick you up and you're up and going, you feel like you have enough speed, what you want to go to go into a turn, you kind of want to lean back a bit and get the weight onto the fins and the back rails. That's going to give you the control that you want is having your weight in the back. As you do that, you also want to kind of lean which way you're going to turn. You want to lift your toes up, transfer more weight to your heels if you're doing a cut back. Or if you're coming up the front of the wave, you want to lean in a bit and feel the board, push down on your toes a little bit more and come up. And that's pretty much how you turn a surfboard."
