keeping speed in small surf / pumping the wave

Postby RichD14 » Thu Oct 29, 2009 11:55 pm

O.k. so I live in Virginia Beach, I generally ride a 6'3'' rocketfish and I'm nearly 200lbs. Anyone have any advice on keeping speed and pumping in your average 3-4 foot stuff. I know it's possible I've seen other people my weight get some crazy rides, but I keep getting one or two turns in and losing momentum

Watch the video called 'Small Wave Riding'

The most important tips from this is are throwing your arms forward, and surfing rail to rail. Wish I could surf like the guys in this vid.....
