The step back turn / pivot turn // How to SUP videos

The Step Back Turn is a really useful, fast turn to master. Whether on a race board or surf SUP, it's a great turning method to get you quickly around those race buoys or infront of that fast approaching wave. It takes a bit of practice and you’re likely to get wet when you first try, but it's well worth the effort.

Bravo! That Red Elite board is the most tippiest sup board I've ever tried. You're doing great job step balancing on it!

How do you turn to your front side. Right turn in this video with normal foot.

As a not so heavy person, I can say that this is quite hard.

I tried this on my massive board that's too big and lost balance, I could do with some more practise😂

[hfuhruhurr]

Too good of music choice...I kept fixating on that instead of the instruction.

OK... Crazy question, but I've never seen "my turns" anwhere, so I'm asking....
For my part, I stay in the middle of my board, put a huge outside "backward" paddling on the side I am, like a big "C" shape (it stops the forward glide and start the rotation, and then, I change side and give the same "big one C mirrored" in order to finish my turn and start gliding in the opposite side) A kinda what we did when I was rowing and we have to go back.
Am I crazy ?
