Had a session this morning on small beach break waves and had to re-tune my thinking on bottom turns as the normal method was not cutting the mustard!

With not much wave face to turn on I found myself leaning on the rail and arching back, swinging the board around in a nice little pivot movement, much like surfing a Mal, it made the little peelers a lot of fun, engage the rail, find the pocket of trim and just stand back - Yew!

Cant believe how much bloody fun small waves can be!

not as much fun as big waves

When you are geared up properly for small waves, life is good indeed!

I can't wait to get out in some good waves, have had a couple of sessions in Ok size waves, actually found they are easier to get into as they have more energy.

You can rip hard on small wave with the right board .
x32 Hokua springs to mind ..
or a raptor .

Im just a sucker for the glide
