You are worried about the drop and look down at the drop. Look at the line you want to take and you will have more time to stand up. It’s all about the right line

Stand up. It’s the rail grab that limits space and movement. Use bones for balance not muscle.

Way more tuned in. We’ll done

Me!

Take a breath and relax. It’s that simple. You are in flight mode. As soon as you relax and feel safe you will get control over your arms

Frustration is the key to change. Also doing the same thing over and over expecting change is the first sign of madness. Haha. All the comments above were great and they have all been through it

Well said G

Great advice

Thanks. The line someone takes says a lot about their knowledge and how much energy they can handle on a wave. The board needs to meet their needs. A quiet mind can ride a busy performance board but a busy mind needs a clam board

Definitely slower and smoother
