English term or phrase: big backhand snap
Jag undertextar en dokumentär om en surfstjärna, och i en av många tävlingsreferat från surfomgångarna som visas säger de så här:

-Here's XXX XXX out the back.
-Go, go.

Bit hit, big hit.

Big backhand snap
winding up right here,

just hammering that backhand turn.

And another finishing maneuver,
two huge turns on the outside.

This was a perfect 10.

Snap tror jag betyder ungefär Snärt. Men vad kan Backhand betyda?

Explanation:
Hittade lite webbplatser som handlade om surfning och drog denna slutsats. Den översta referensen är den om snap=vändning, den andra till backhand och andra surftermer. Översättningen av big är jag inte så säker på men den bör vara lättare för dig då jag förmodar att du vant dig lite vid jargongen.
