frontside floater

[Guest]

I have a picture of me attempting to do a floater but whenever I bottom turn or try to do floaters I hunch my back as you guys seen before. When I'm surfing I don't even realize I''m doing it at all is there anyway to fix this?

Yep stand up straight. When you go for the floater you need to be light on your feet so just concentrate on not doing what you are doing in the picture. You need to try and keep your centre of balance above the top of the wave where you aim your floater. In this position in the picture, your centre of balance is too far back so you cannot realy pull it off.

Like many things in surfing it's just a bad habit that you sometimes pick
up and have to work to get rid of

Hope my ideas help
