What am I doing wrong? (video)

Postby tilem » Tue Sep 24, 2013 1:11 pm

Hey guys, could you explain me what i'm doing wrong in this video? It happened more than once. Do I need to walk foward immediately after the first turn?



Thanks for the help!

It's a bit hard to tell. But we will have a go.
When you start to feel the board going up the face of the wave you can twist your upper body the other way and your feet and board will follow.
Or when your surfing along the wave if you transfer your wait from your toes to your heals then heals to toes and so on the board will go up and down the face of the wave but stay moveing along the face ( just as a side note when you get this sused it will generate a lot of speed)
I hope this helps

:P I think it's your hair. To borrow a phrase from Cheech and Chong, "Who cut your hair, Man?" :P

Seriously, I can offer nothing constructive.:unuts:

But, you do pop up nicely.

Hi Tilem,
did you solve your problem?
To me it seems like you are standing on the tail. That means you have like the breaks on, the board slows down and goes high up the wave, and it's over.
Probably you just have to turn left before it's too late and then push with your front foot. Maybe shift a bit forward when you can.
But I bet you solved this by now.
Cheers

nothing wrong, you just over turned. You bottom turned and kept climbing until you ran off the wave. Ever see a baseball pitcher throw soo hard he throws the ball into the ground in front of his feet ? There's a moment when you have to release and reset you rail/edge to trim. I would rather over turn like you are doing then under turn which most of the beginners riding the soup do.

By the way, if anything I say is wrong that I see in the video is your stiff fingers together on the paddle. Relax them and let them spread naturally.
