Agreed that this is a stylized expression without literal meaning. "Curl" is an important surfer/surfing word: - The breaking, falling over top of a large ocean wave forms the curl - Surfers "shoot the curl" (and often call out "cowabunga") when riding good waves - A magazine for women surfers is named Curl - Rip Curl is the name of a brand of long-time surfing wetsuits - Curl Surf is the name of a Disney surf shop So the meaning is meant to evoke fast and precisely controlled movement - in a stylized surfer way. Cheers ... or rather, "Rad" in surfer-speak

Thank you!

Found it CRUSH Whoa. Kill the motor, dude. Let us see what Squirt does flying solo. SQUIRT Whoa! Whoa! That was so cool! Hey dad, did you see that? Did you see me? Did you see what I did? CRUSH You so totally rock, Squirt! So give me some fin..noggin.. CRUSH/SQUIRT ..dude! CRUSH Oh, intro. Jellyman, Offspring. Offspring, Jellyman. SQUIRT Jellies? Sweet. CRUSH Totally. MARLIN Well, apparently, I must've done something you all like. Heh, uh, dudes. SQUIRT You rock, dude. MARLIN Ow. CRUSH Curl away, my son. Aw, it's awesome, Jellyman. Little dudes are just eggs, leave 'em on the beach to hatch, then coo-coo-ca-choo, they find their way back to the big 'ol blue. MARLIN No idea. The turtle father is encouraging the young one to explore alone. Perhaps "curl" refers to something that he is doing? Was it moving in some sort of curve? Did it refer to the EAC being a twisting spiral at that point? Just guessing. Haven't watched it for a while. The turtles talk in a sort of hippy - style English: It is intended to be a little cryptic & distinctly chilled-out.

Check it. It does not sound like something said in the movie, from memory, even by the hippy-dude turtles.
