i have a JP surf pro 8'10 @90kg, but im still crap at top turns. I can crank a bottom turn around, but in my top turn (ive been told) i kinda just stand/square up, then fire down the line again and crank another bottom turn before another lame top turn.

And If i do try and crank the top turn a bit more i often just fall to the inside . onto my back
So - what are your tips?

im not really using my paddle in the turn to pivot - is this key

Also feel (after yrs of windsurfing maybe) that im kinda missing the boom or something as my windsurfing top turns are fine.

All ideas and thoughts appreciated
