Dude, it’s everything! The bottom turn is your launch pad. It’s the first real turn you do after dropping in, where you redirect that downward energy from the wave face back up towards the lip. Without a solid one, you’re just going straight, wasting all the wave’s power. It sets your line for the whole ride, generating speed and setting you up for your next maneuver, whether it’s a cutback or hitting the lip. Master this, and you unlock the whole wave.
