Hi.
I've been surfing sporadically for years and guess I am a lower intermediate surfer according to the lines I take.
I am working on the oreo biscuit technique and I have two questions I can't seem to find the answers to:
1) can the technique be used on all kind of waves? I manage to use it on steeper "well-breaking" waves but on fatter and flatter waves I really struggle even when I'm right where they start breaking.
2) Does using the oreo eliminate the need for step up boards on bigger/faster waves? I often see that step-ups (with more foam under the chest) are recommended to get more paddle-power but if I don't need to paddle (much) to get waves that is not needed?
