NOTE: Inexperienced wave sailor questions

I am not sure whether I have started off with a bad habit or whether its because I have mostly ridden freestyle wave style boards, but when I am about to turn and go down the line (or at least attempt to go down the line ) I pull my back foot out of the strap so I can move it around closer to the rails.

Is this a bad habit or acceptable practice?

I recently purchased a (smaller than my weight) twin fin and of course its a full on wave style board. Should I still pull my foot out (which I have an overwhelming urge to do) or should I try and keep it in the strap?


also when I get into the wave zone, on the way out, I find that there seems to be a distinct lack of wind, is this normal or am I clenching my sphincter too hard and losing track of which direction I should be sailing??
