Improve surfing style

Postby senast » Fri Jul 03, 2009 5:59 pm

I want to look good while surfing. Heck, who doesn't. But apparently my style is very rigid.

I've seen fotage of myself and my knees hardly bend when pumping or just going down the line compare to other surfers. The only time my knees actually bend is when I go for a re-entry, floater or cutback.

How could I get more flow into my style?

I couldn't possibly tell you how to improve your style, because my neanderthal chimp with arthritic hips style is perfect.

You're lucky that you have footage of yourself. Just analyze what your doing wrong and try something new. Time with sand out those kinks in your surfing.

Spray some WD40 on your joints before hitting the waves? :D :D :D
