I have seen that method used,but it not for me. I dont like the fact that when you then catch the wave you ave to get yourself up forward as your taking off.kage wrote:I think you need to back your weight off the board a bit and push the board forward. The "bend" that was the shape of the body board should be a combination of the arm and paipo. Hard to say, but it works for me.what happens when forcing the nose down on a bodyboard catching a wave, whether i'm keeping the board flat, forcing reverse rocker, but some how the paipo's boyancey and stiffness bounces back at me
Its very hard to describe these things in the written word for me. With the forcing the nose down i;m talking about chasing waves that longboarders are struggling to catch, its a way I have found to catch a flat wave.
I will have to come up to santa cruz and we can have a surf and board swap, suwer peak at pleasures is my fav, but I also like hassling the longboarders at 38th ave. Where are your fav waves in santa cruz?
