keep yourself firmly planted on the board and steady, its just shifting your body weight without moving your body too much, more on leaning instead moving i guess? i dunno, im not a surf instructor  grin

ask millie she can probably put it in writing better than i can  wink

grin grin grin i wish

but as i child it was quite the opposite :p

anyway, turtle boy just make sure that aside from havin fun, the time in the water is also spent on improving the skills u think u want to improve, bottom turns, noseride, etc etc make it a conscious effort  wink
