Hello Everyone!! I'm a new surfer, been surfing for 2 months now, paddling has been pretty good. I need to learn how to duckdive. Problems are just not popping up fast enough. I have a 8 foot Stewart. Really quick!!! Aight, ya'll have a nice day!!!

Hi jtang898, welcome to Surfing Waves!

You'll struggle duckdiving that board. What you're after is the turtle roll (eskimo roll). There are also plenty of tips about it on the forum, so have a search around.

That's great jtang898. This is one technique that takes a lot of practice to get good at, but it's an essential skill to master.
Great to hear it's helped already.
