Here is a sweet video on how to do a quick pivot turn explained and illustrated by Beau O'Brian, from Starboard Australia 

Beau O'Brian de Starboard nous explique comment réaliser une rotation ou pivot turn / kick turn autour d'une bouée, notamment pendant une course de SUP. 

A l'arrivée de la bouée, le rider doit se mettre en position de surfer à l'arrière du paddle board, fléchir sur les genoux et faire un mouvement de pagaie le plus horizontal et large possible, avant de se replacer en position initiale.

Beau O'Brian de Starboard Australia explica cómo hacer un giro o pivote (pivot turn / kick turn) alrededor de una boya durante una carrera de SUP. 

Con la llegada de la boya, el piloto debe ponerse en posición de surfero en la parte posterior de la tabla, flexionar las rodillas y hacer un movimiento de remo horizontal y amplia antes de volver a la posición inicial.
