 Posted: Jun 12, 2008 7:41 pm Post subject: Moving feet |
 |
|
| I seem to loose control over the board when moving my feet which normally causes a fall. What is the best way to move them around. Front foot first? Heal or toe first? What should my body position be? |

just scoot your feet around. if you have a foam top its harder because it is really sticky so you have to pick up your feet a little.
grip FTW! |

| you don't pick them up off the deck, just shuffle them into position. usually at the same time or even i think i might do front foot first. |

On this subject, love the way Danny's song goes with his foot adjustment towards the end of *
~"ButLuckCameUndone!AsWeJumpedtheGun! NOW! ALL! wecandoisrun..."~
As for how to do it, the more you get out...the more comfortable you are going to be on your deck. It'll be much less of an issue after a couple times out. Concentrate on being over the board when you start to shift your feet and have a good, steady grip on the handle. Holding the handle with one hand may make it easier as well.?.

| just do a little pop where the board does not come off the water and move your feet around when there is no pressure on your feet. |
