Turtle Roll

A maneuver used in paddling out, primarily for longboards, when going through a breaking wave. The surfer rolls the board over so the breaking wave hits the bottom of the surfboard. The slight curvature of the board also helps the board penetrate deeper under the wave, and helps the board go through the wave, rather than being pushed back to shore.
