My recommendation -

If you get a chance to go on a retreat, do it.

Point your 🍆where you want to go - that should help with being more front on through your rotations 😁

Also, Michiel van Gerven says to turn your upper body more than you feel like you need to (instead of opening your shoulders up to 180 degrees, open to 270 degrees)

Yeah, it kind of looks like your posture and stance are preventing you from twisting - and we all know that if your twist is broken you will lean instead!

Looks like you have good waves to practice it on though! 😁

Hey Hugh,

How often do you get to the Wave?

Terry W there are OMBE people regularly at the wave if she wants company.

Where is that, Fredi?

Sorry, I don’t have any knowledge of anything in that area. Maybe try the south coast, they are a dedicated bunch down there ( you have to be in those conditions!)

Looking at grahams photo above, maybe you aren’t bringing your knees high enough for the board to bounce back off the foam and come back down?

They are always sending me spam and I didn’t know who they were so thank you for educating me! 😁

The slow section in the wave is way better, almost not noticeable now.

The take off is more like taking off on the shoulder of a wave. I am used to the old take off and struggling to work the new one out!
