How to

Step by step
  1. Drop into a carve on a medium slope at a steady, controllable speed that lets you finish each turn.

    Ride the heelside turn (heel edge) until the board is clearly arcing and starting to slow.

  2. Late in that turn, your knees are deeply bent.

    Now stand up slightly by extending both knees. Rising lifts your weight off the edge and lets the board flatten — this is what starts the transition.

  3. As you rise, send your navel and hips toward the inside of the next turn (the downhill side).

    The feeling is your body climbing over the edge you're on and moving across to the other side of the board. Carry your hips across, not just your upper body.

  4. Once your body passes over the board and shifts to the toe side, immediately press into the balls of your feet (base of the big toe) to set the toe edge.

    Re-bend the knees you just straightened so your body weight loads the new edge and bites in.

  5. Look where you're going — toward the exit of the next turn.

    Leading with your eyes makes your hips follow naturally, so the switch doesn't lag.

  6. Repeat rise → carry the body across → press down on each side.

    The board's path and your body's path keep crossing, linking one clean carve into the next.

Tips & common mistakes

Tips

You stand up at the switch to pull your weight off the edge and let the board go flat. If you stay bent, the edge keeps gripping and your body can't cross over it.

COMMON MISTAKE

The transition takes too long and the board skids → cause: you barely stood up and your weight stayed on the edge → late in the turn, fully extend the knees to unload the edge before carrying your hips across.
