Looks like he is "dog diving"
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

He needs to look where he wants to go instead of the nose of the board like what he is doing in the photo :lol: He might know how to shift his weight back though. Or planning on fetching the pearls at the bottom of the ocean. That must be a fun event to watch!

He is facing a nose dive, so he probably hasn't been paddling fast enough...
