WAVE LESSON WITH GREGOR |
||||||||||||||||
1. Wait until the wave starts peaking. Point your board down at an appx. 45 degree angle. While staying tucked, get as much speed as you can on smaller waves or just point in bigger ones. Stay high up in the wave for a better drive; lean a bit forward. Also, you can put the rig a bit forward in light winds. |

2. Before you start to initiate your bottom-turn you may oversheet your sail by pulling with your back hand. Then push the rig forward.This will enable you to really lean into your turns thus letting you make squarer bottom-turns. By oversheeting you actually kill speed which allows your board to turn more, a must in bigger surf. |

3. Timing is everything. Come in too early and you may pop out the back; come in too late and you will get folded. |
