There is a cool video on Any from Mentawais look up ‘push the bush’ not my term but is a good one. Haha and it works a charm

Dress warm and eat well. Enjoy

The more speed you have the more drawn out the bottom turn. You put a lot of power into a pivot point and it’s costing you speed. Simply lean over the rail earlier and hold the turn longer. We just dropped a YT video on this. Go take it look as it addresses all the issues in more depth. Great looking wave. Jealous

Yew stoked. Go gentle at first. You can’t find flow with a hammer

Hold rail turns longer and smoother. More speed longer the turn

Relax. You frozen into a low posture because you are weary of what the board will do but it only responds to you. Move slow and smooth and the board will follow along nicely

Great fun if you surf a point where the design can aid the drive off the bottom and turn off the top. Not great if the board is made for lefts for example and you need to go right

What G said is true. You run from power instead of useing it. Think off the top turn as another take off. Take off at the peak as opposed to midface on the shoulder.

Straight up your body. When you walk up stairs you shift hips to front foot and straighten giving your lightness and space. Currently your do the opposite.

We have trips to Nicaragua for 2026 , Mentawais and Maldives in the pipeline
