I have a hard time landing shuvits because my feet are right next to each other so i have very little balance. ANy tips on how to stop this are appreciated

focus on catching your shuvits with a wide stance. try to land in your normal riding stance

practice on your carpet and get used to watching the rotation and keeping those feet apart. then take it to the water. it helped me.

I kinda have the same problem...............I catch the board with a wide stance but once I hit the water my feet never seem to want to stay under me...............I usually land falling backwards on the board

i got over this bascically after you learn to land it, your feet gradually spread farther apart as u master the trick.

twgapk is right. thats also what i did. its a lot easier. I'm assuming you don't skateboard?

ya when ur pushing the board infront of u, u kick backward so ur back foots natural reaction is to come back in and often your feet are close, i had/ sometimes still have the same probelm but when i focus on catching feet apart its alot more stable, just practice
