yep good luck.....im still struggling with cross stepping,i can surf switch(sorta kinda badly),yet that cs stuff just ****s me...i can go forward like a pro...still prefer to shuffle.
yet the the step back has almost killed me that many times its not funny. hang 5 easy peasy...both feet.
as they said volume is your friend


Cross stepping isn't the easiest I agree, especially heading back. I had wicked fun riding switch this morning, do it quite a bit snow boarding so it isn't too unnatural. I am yet to hang five with my left foot, leg rope is a tad too short for that one.

Good luck. Still the best feeling when you have nothing in front of you but water. Yew!!!


I got one yesterday! Was only quick but still had ten over. When I started heading back I slipped and fell right at the end haha

Hopefully a few more when I get a new mal in a few weeks! Also coming into surf season, hot offshore days with 3-4 feet lefts, could not be keener!

Once you get a good noseriding board Teacake you'll be able to get more extended noserides instead of running up and back so quick.

I will get a log soon just for those small fun days but then I will get a performance mal as well. It is a pain running to and fro all the time...

Happens too often! Can't say I have tried it on a sup though...
