just looking for some help with nose riding setup
i can get nose rides and i stall to get higher in the wave although when going for the nose alot of the time the board races down the face quickly before i can get to the nose so i wondered should when setting up my board be parallel to the wave face or at more of an angle i drew a sketch to show what i mean

I can't help out with noseriding issues, but I'd just like to comment on the quality of your image. It's way better than the normal child scrawl posted.
Good work


(now someone help him out)

Try slightly more parallel and have a read of this clarification may follow.
