Titolo: shooting the curl

Salve, potreste darmi una dritta?
Purtroppo non conosco il mondo del surf ma mi trovo a dover tradurre
un'espressione che credo si riferisca a questo sport...
Shooting the curl, come si puņ riportare in italiano?
cercando nelle immagini di google mi sembra di capire che č quando si
passa sotto l'onda. help :)
Grazie
