Getting into bottom turns for the first time.
Hi guys,
I'm reasonably new to stand up paddle boarding and loving it! I'm starting to get into some decent waves of about head hight on my Naish Nalu 11'4. I'm wanting to drive off the bottom a bit more with some bottom and top turns but manoverability is quite low (I'm used to very direct foot steering from windsurfing). At the moment I'm just cruising along the wave which is awesome but I'm getting to the stage where I want to lay into the wave a bit more. Some of the things I'm thinking I need to do include.
1. some more back foot pressure
2. getting the front foot on the inside rail to help in adding some rail pressure.
3. Moving the middle fin forward (it's currently set up towards the back 3rd of the fin slot.)
Any other tips, Youtube clips etc would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jason
