Term
Turn radius
The radius describing the rider or board's actual curved path; it is not automatically the sidecut radius.
GLOSSARY · Turns & riding control
Turn radius describes how tight or wide the actual path of a turn is. Riders change it with edge angle, pressure, skidding and speed.
Context and distinction
Turn radius is the path ridden; sidecut radius is the shape built into the board. A board can make turns much tighter or wider than its sidecut radius.
