surf roll.....

[701superjet]

every time i land its completely flat and feels like my motor is going to blow through the bottom of the hull....how can i raise the nose and land more tail down


it seems like even if i hit a wave thats almost about to break i still land flat
any tips would be helpfull

 

[stanton]

i went through this phase for months before i could work the tail down. i think the problem was my body positioning as i went off the lip, i was leaning too far forward.
practice.

yea its beating the hell out of my ski....

keep workin at it, try rolling with your arms bent at different lengths, try to zero in and do it till your muscles have a memory.
also try a slight preturn to give the tail some more pop.

i dnt know how u stand when you roll but if your surf stance try putting both feet in the footholds in the back of the tray, thatl help drop the back

no i dont roll surf stance, i think i need to throw my head more toward the tray instead of the gas cap

Yo E... I noticed (at least for me) the bigger the surf the less forward I lean. So on small surf I have to really get over the hood to make my rotation. But in bigger surf I'm not as far forward - not sure if that's the key but give it a shot.

son, surf stance is where it's at!!

Same problem here Eric. I think I throw my head forward, and right as I'm leaving the wave. I tried slowing it down and not throwing my head forward as much in VA, it helped a bit. Just squatting in the tray and turning my head/shoulders. But hey I'm still a novice myself so...

tru playas roll surf stance and regular, and backy both:brap::brap:oke:oke:oke:

 

[stanton]

im sure i could roll and flip in footholds, but why? stay surf stance all the time and increase the difficulty and style in everything you do. im surprised theres noone riding flatwater in surf stance, someone should.

if u think u can do it then y dont you? really dude surf style rolls and flips are not that much harder imo:Banane35:

Now I am curious - is it any harder to flip in surf stance? If so, why?

 

[WILKEY]

u def need ur west coast waves hahahahah thats the only thing. i cant do little wave backies surf stance just the biggins

 

[stanton]

as far as i can tell surf stance needs to hit the wave later and steeper and go bigger because the rotation is much slower. timing and wave selection is critical opposed to having all your weight in back and flipping of rollers. i need a near vert wave.
i will never ride footholds, not my thing.
