Great thread the only advice that was given to me (speed is your friend) nothing good ever happens when your in slow motion. Of course you have to have the wave to give you that or manufacture speed by fading ect.
We just posted this video with tips for bottom turns, including rotating the head and shoulders into the turn so the rest of the body follows:
To engage the rail quicker out of the help of a strong back foot push and all other tricks well explain in the last post of this very interesting topic, boards have to be design with a wide point pull back the middle of the board and therefore have to get a pull in nose which is a not as common design except for the pro's board of 7'+ or sub 8'.
Riviera Whirling Dervish SUP is a excellent exemple of that kind of very manoeuvrable design .
Have to say that Bert from Sunova is doing that kind of loose board too

I have boardshorts that color. And that's where the similarities end...

Also, the action sequences show very well the "anti-turn" at the start of the bottom.
