What is the "soul arch"?
The soul arch is a surfing maneuver where a surfer leans back and arches their back while riding a wave, creating a graceful and smooth curve. This move is often done on a longboard and involves the surfer shifting their weight to maintain balance while allowing their body to stretch into a stylish, almost flowing position. The soul arch is a way to add flair to a ride and show off smooth, controlled movement on the wave. It requires flexibility, good posture, and a strong sense of balance to perform effectively while staying in sync with the wave.
