Pearling

Could someone explain this to me better? From what I understand, pearling is your nose diving, while surfing a wave. or am I wrong?

Thanks matt, I guess I only had this happen once, I was trying to be a hot shot at brigantine beach bash. There is a funny photo of me trying to catch my breath, and pull my helmet ooff on the beach, I got rolled HARD

I rode the brigantine beach bash. Broke my wrist doing a barrel roll re-entry on the Sunday of the ride.

No lakes for me. Surf only. I'm allergic to fresh water lol.

You riding Daytona next week?

I live across the bay from BL, Ill be riding there this summer for sure.
Ive always been a little worried about having a mechanical problem out there, right when you take the right around the jetty. Getting stuck there by the rock pile in real chopped up waves would suck, this is why I need some riding buddies.

This thread needs more wydopen. Until he shows up, I'll paraphrase for him: 'Pearling is what happens when you don't know how to shift your weight'

Ha ha, and/or your pole is too short and/or you have any other unapproved for surf mods...

I had an "unapproved surf ski" That 650 sx was almost always broke, I'm lucky there was an extra square to ride. Just bougt my first rn, I'm gonna wait till I have all my parts to post a build thread, but it will pretty much be a stock 701 with handling mods, kept nice and reliable
