1 year of surf
Hello guys
Just trying to understand what to work on next as I started surfing a year ago.
Riding a 8' foamie, I'm comfortable up to 1,5m wave. From 1,5to 1m, I usually am not too comfortable with turning and angling the board. I go straight on, but can now pop up very early to manage the steepness of waves. I like the speed sensation on these bigger waves but would like to be able to get this angle and turn. Because issue is : on these bigger waves when I'm reaching down the wave there is not enough speed to turn...
In smaller conditions, I can take easily rights or left, but the speed is not really there.
Aside of this I recently tried a 7.4 board. It was very funny and the speed difference was real on waves higher than 1m. Also noticed that I had to place myself further inside
I force myself to make everything start from the fact of looking where I want to go very early, before even taking off. But on bigger waves, it's difficult for me to manage everything...
What to improve now?
