English term or phrase: quick snaps in the hook
The thruster fin setup really excels in flat to head high surf and is perfect for quick snaps in the hook.

Really not sure about the meaning of "quick snaps in the hook".

Explanation:
Bonjour,

Comme vous verrez dans les références ci-dessous, le 'hook' est en fait la lèvre de la vague, à l'endroit où elle se casse. C'est en fait le sommet de la vague. Les snaps sont des sortes de virages rapides et courts en surf. Il y a différentes sortes de snaps, notamment les frontside et les backside.
