Ok, thanks will give it a go!

I guess I would lean into the wave face. My right hand would be more forward and closer to the water and my left hand would be up.

Ok here’s the nose dive. Having said that I did adjust the angle I was making on take off and I did have a better session this week

Hey just a quick question. I’ve been surfing the advanced wave at the wave pool and I’m fairly comfortable on this setting. Recently I’ve started surfing the advanced plus setting (a bigger more powerful wave). I make the take off on this wave about 50% of the time and I’m trying to work out what I’m doing wrong. The times I mess this up even though I’m angling the board I tend to nose dive. I’ve tried a few things to try and make this better. First I changed board moving to more of a high performance short board with a bit more rocker as I thought maybe the board wasn’t fitting into the wave. Now I’m thinking perhaps I should experiment with the take off angle. Looking at some footage it looks like I drop in to the bottom of the wave and bottom turn. Perhaps I need to angle the board more, stay higher on the wave, pop up, then ride down the face and bottom turn? Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!

Thanks! I guess at that point, I was thinking is that section going to sit up so I can hit it. I was gearing up to start bottom turning and heading back up the wave.

Thanks Graham, that’s very helpful

Same question here, too compressed, should I be extending now?
