Hi guys,
I wanted to share a small tip of how I remind myself of what is my goal in each surf.. in case anyone finds it useful. I draw my 'trigger words' on my board with black wax so you I can easily remove and change it or do just before paddling in. This way I constantly see it when I paddle or sit.
I made this one to help me remember to point the nose and my eyes where I want to go and remember the coffee cup hand as I struggle to put it on straight from the take off on my backhand.
Have a great day everyone!

Hey Brian! Is your struggle that if you go straight down you keep going straight and the wave runs away? In that case as Graham is saying, maybe you can try after you start going down the wave face, look at the where you want go and initiate your lean so you can transition smoothly to your botton turn already looking at the top part you want to hit 🤙☺️. Like when you want to park your car in a public garage and you take sort of arc you make you car fit straight in but would be looking at the parking place anyways, not straight ahead all the time. i dont know if it makes sense if not I can try again
