People Also Ask
What is a re-entry in surfing?
It's a maneuver where you drive vertically up to the lip and then drop back down into the wave face to keep the ride going.
How is a re-entry different from an off the lip?
They're closely related; a re-entry emphasises returning cleanly into the face after hitting the lip, whereas 'off the lip' names the vertical hit itself. Many surfers use the terms interchangeably.
