snapturn

[MadeInNewJersey13]

Hey, Im 13 and weigh 85 lbs. I was just wondering if i should be able to do snapturns with my 6'2 board. I can do most soft turn like whitewash turns and stuff like that but no snap tricks. Is it because of my size and the size of my board or am I just doing it wrong??

try harder everything is possible / probably not

just go with the flow i reckon you should find that snap turns and cutbacks and stuff come naturally when youre getting good enough just by trying to keep enough speed up. i find that if i think about trying a snap or whatever then i fall but i guess its worth knowing the technique.

https://surfing-waves.com/learn-to-surf.htm

theres a ton of things you can learn to do, and they got videos to go along with it, incase youre a visual learner like me.

But for even better stuff.. but Taj Burrow's book of hot surfing, best surfing book ever!

What kind of tail does your board have?

uhh. Its a Fish. Idk how to explain, its got the two little non-sharp prongs at the back.

maybe we could call it a two little sharp thing tail, is it a new design?

I've only the seen the swallow tails, they only have two pointy things sticking outof them.

what's the ride like compared to it?
