So I think as you come down the wave. You will have a lot of speed, your weight will be forward and you will want to be engaging the rail for the bottom turn. So you will be leaning. At this point it’s probably not vital that your back foot needs to be right on the tail pad. From this point you will be looking to extend your boy, throwing arms up to get to the top of the wave. It’s normally just before the next move that I may shuffle my back foot back slightly to the tail back, because I’m either cutting back, down to the bottom of the wave, snapping or top turning. Hope this helps, it might not be correct, but it’s what I do!

No problem!

I live in London, the closest place to surf will be in Bristol at the wave. Depending where you live in London that’s 2- 2h 30 mins away. If you want an ocean surf I would say the closest place is Porthcawl in Wales. Hope this helps!

Graham Marsden thanks will give it a go

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

Thanks for the advise!

Thanks!
