In my case (yours may vary!) I mostly focus on:

1. Get to the peak NO SHOULDER HOPPING

2. Smooth easy stroke (with great posture - banana, legs together)

3. Feel the lift from wave bottom and know it’s my friend now that I Oreo

4. Cobra arch upper body with hands down on deck towards belly button. (I’m looking down the line, and am on rail now)

5. Feel those legs press down on the tail as I cobra and board starts accelerating

6. Take your time and Pop (I personally kept a pop not walk up)

The weight distribution seems to take care of itself if I do steps 4&5

Either way, I’m so grateful for the amazing coaching on here. it’s massively improved my (mid) surfing and I’m having the best time because of OMBE.
