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
