2nd breakfast is part of the after surf routine, indeedGeoffreyLevens wrote:Nice! Plenty there for a good time. And then of course, you get to warm up with "2nd breakfast".
The HPD takes a different approach to ride - more like bodysurfing than board surfing. Set your hip on the inside rail with weight forward. With most of your weight on the inside rail, very slight lift on the outside rail (with trailing hand) will set the edge. The HPD likes forward balance and subtle diagonal shifts in weight from forward outside rail to back inside rail. You can get a good feel for the board by getting in bodysurf posture with arms back, face out front and using weight shift to steer.zensuni wrote:I rode my HPD board this afternoon.
That board is definitly more complicated to turn than my plywood board, I have been using this board occasionally for 2 years and every time I am still struggling to make a turn and avoid side slipping. I feel like I need to lift the outside rail, like on a bodyboard, but way more, otherwise it just side slips. Flat sections are easy though. But I really wonder how they manage to ride pipeline on that kind of board, I'm sure I'm missing something.
