bobby, get some weight on your front foot before you pop. Keep that handle nice and low and be patience for that tail to release from the water. |

when you cut, right before you throw your kicky, Make sure your center of balance is almost exactly at the center of the board. and pop it, kick it, catch it early, and spot your landing. |
