I hate when i go for 720s and invert to reverses i cant tuck my legs in how i want. Its really anoying. Im fine on rights but on lefts its hard.

Same with back flips and towing into waves over 25ft like the right. When i go left there my spins are really bad.

Its really anoying.

My spins on small waves are fine its just when i head to places like chopes and the right (the left at the right) i struggle. Sometimes i bog my rail. Its anoying.

Also anyone got any tips on air forwards off 10ft sections? I dont know what im doing wrong.

I love barrels though. Got a 10 second barrel the other day. Was only small shories but this one held up.

Try not to worry about what anyone thinks about your 10ft air fowards. Just Have FUN!!! :D

So sick to hear about your 10 second barrel, keep shredding mate. YEW

I hate it when I hit the lip at maxing third reef pipe, do an invert and then land on the flats.

Also when I go right at 10ft chopes I just can't ever seem to make the barrel... What am I doing wrong?

Try digging in your fins when bottom turning and using your weight properly. Thats what i do.

i hate when i face-race cyclops the lip always hit me on the head or my back which hurts. Maybe i should get some scuba fins to make me go faster, all my friends use them, they also wear goggles when its choppy

i have a habit of going over the falls on bigger waves waves requiring any sort of scoop, however im thinking thats more due to my board being too stiff and bouncing me over with the lip.
my rad epileptic rooster style :lol:


i get this ALOT at supers left.
having a hell steep drop onto nearly dry reef (most of the time) and having to scoop real hard stuffs me up alot. i generally get pitched, hit the reef on my side/back then get sucked up with the lip alot. its not that fun.
a scoop is something i need to work on.

also i can rev on rights efficiently as such. i can forward on rights really tight, real fast. i am at a point where i can throw my revs on my lefts around alot now and can forward but i am hopeless at inverts on lefts.
i was surfing mousies and i tried to invert out of the trap and i barely got my board out of the water. but i can invert on my right, roll both ways and ive got halfway round a small air forward haha.
definately need improving but.
