Definition

noun

  • (surfing) Maneuver where the surfer turns and surfs back towards where the wave is breaking.
    "The cutback is one of the sport's three fundamental turns, along with the bottom turn and top turn. "It's the purest power move in the book," Australian surf journalist Nick Carroll wrote in 2000."
  • (roofing) Solvent-thinned bitumen used in cold process roofing adhesives, cements and coatings.
  • (soccer) An offensive pass played into a position further from the attacking goal line.
    "Lee Barnard swung at Chaplow's cutback and missed completely and then was just too far away to connect with Harding's flashing ball across the face of goal."
