It’s an imaginary line in the face of the wave that corresponds to the ideal trajectory for a surfer wishing to exploit the wave’s kinetic potential: this spot under the lip at the level of the wave’s upper third enables the surfer to maintain maximum speed, with no need for any motor action other than a minimum of weight on the front leg. This is the point of the wave that offers the most velocity. <\/p>\n
It’s also the trajectory of a surfer in the tube, or of a longboarder on the front of his board (hang five).<\/p>\n
It is around this invisible line that the surfer will constantly evolve, executing descents and ascents in the trough of the wave.<\/p>\n
So a surfer who stays in the lower third of the wave will invariably end up slowing down and being caught by the breaker, thus losing the wave. Unless it’s a deliberate braking manoeuvre to get into the tube. <\/p>\n
On the contrary, the surfer who stays on this line will succeed in surfing a regular wave along the whole length of his breaker, from the bottom to the edge.<\/p>\n
