take an angle
tomam (muito) espaço de curvatura


Explanation:
Com base na seguinte descrição de esqui aquático, penso que se trata do espaço de curvatura.

"Off Side: If there is one feature about the H2 that stands out, it is that the Off Side turn is extremely dependable and forgiving. You can move the fin and bindings almost anywhere without radically changing the Off Side turn. You can approach the apex in far less than perfect position and the ski just gets it done. The H2 is going to take a lot of angle at the exit of the Off Side turn - you can just depend on it. With the fin and bindings close to the stock settings, the turn is a smooth and controlled arc setting up the skier for a calm and controlled trip to the wakes."

V. exemplo abaixo utilizado num sentido figurado.

Example sentence(s):
  • A região dos mortos é também a região do esquecimento, o espaço de curvatura nula, onde os passageiros do trem chocam-se com as nuvens e vêem o que era parecer de ver, vêem tudo o que era de ouvir, tudo que era de refletir de ver...
