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 ask millie she can probably put it in writing better than i can ![]() | ||

i wishbut 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 ![]() | ||

thanks for the tips al! ill try it out the next time i go on a trip. i has having a hard time completing my bottom turn cos whenever i try to switch my weight, the nose always digs in the water one more thing, should i also keep my head looking towards which part of the lip i wanna hit? | ||

if the nose digs in then ur shifting too much weight next time u lessen the weight doesnt help? i dont think it does, but u know what i mean right ![]() | ||
