the biggest thing is to just commit the whole way going up to the wave. the problem most people have is that they second guess it goin halfway up the wave, you have to just commit and throw it. don;t ride around for half the day and think and think and think and think you have to be 110% the whole way. If you roll to the left then turn real slightly to the right going up the wave then at the top of the wave crank it to the left, stay low, and kinda try to get your body in a momentum to the left and hang on. the sxr has a weak handlepole so be careful. if you land a little crooked you could crack it or snap it.
