Title: How do I begin to turn the board on the wave?
Post by: Trigger on September 13, 2009, 09:30:55 AM
Guys help please, what's the correct technique for turning the board on the wave?  Not sure if it's my board (Starboard  10' Whopper) or just my own inability  :-\

Trigger - you'll find a whole set of videos on YouTube for instruction on just about every part of riding.  Here's one that I think directly deals with your issue; How do I turn the board before a wave comes? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bARmWjhaW4&feature=related#)

Thanks Bro.  I have been working hard on it these last days and I'm getting the hang of it.  Quite surprising really how easy it is with the right technique.  I can imagine that once you get better, you can start to whip that thing around on a wave.  I already loved the SUP from my first wave, now it's a whole new ball game  :)
