Reply To: Drills for going to the top of the wave.

[Brian.James]

First question, do you ever ride off of the wave on your feet? Let’s say you see a close out coming, can you ride all the way to the top and then off the back?

Because if you can do that, you can stay high for sure. Just do that exact same movement, except shift your weight back down the wave and the lip will rocket you forward. I’m sure you’ll accidentally ride off the top a few times, but as you tweak it, well now you’re staying high !

Also think about that inside rail pressure. I see many surfers start doing weird things with their upper body to try to manifest themselves to the top lol. When all they need is a little inside rail pressure and they’ll head right up. Hope this helps!
