I went to a new break, the rides were short but very powerful. There were these 13 yr old groms busting 360 airs. i have no idea how they got that much speed on closeouts. What's the best way to catch onshores?

Find a steep, walled up wave..take off and just keep driving down the line untill you can see the closeout section in front of you. Hard,deep bottom turn and really hit that section. If it's all right then you'll be flying.

no, my board isn't heavy. Thanks for the tip on the airs. what i was asking is just how to rip on onshore waves, I have such a hard time doing ti because I get nervous about my board breaking.

no, i mean i heard heavier boards were better from windy or onshore conditions.
