Reply To: 8ft Longboard foot placement

Thank you for your response!

I am definitely in the survival stance on the 8’0. As a result my ability to have any nuance with my hips is impaired. Now that you have pointed it out it is very clear.

So I guess the question that now comes to mind is…if things are feeling a bit shaky, how do I achieve the foundational stance?

My guess is to keep PRACTICING!

Like I mentioned above, the waves at the new beach I have been going to are much steeper than the previous long boarding beach I had become accustomed to. So I have a feeling that is adding to the learning curve.

All good though. You guys have helped tremendously and I am making good progress.

I will keep putting the time in and see how it develops.

Thank you again for your help!
