What is the "cross-step"?
The cross-step is a surfing technique where a surfer moves their feet along the length of the board, typically from the back to the front, to maintain balance and control while riding a wave. As the surfer steps forward, they shift their weight carefully to keep the board steady and avoid losing balance. This technique allows the surfer to stay in the best position on the wave and continue riding smoothly. It requires good coordination and a sense of timing to execute effectively.
