Technique

In this issue, Christian and Karine are keeping the stoke high with another round of CKPerformance Technique, and it’s all about toeside mastery. They’re breaking down two essential moves that every rider should have in their toolkit: the toeside waterstart and the jump transition with a toeside landing. Whether you’re looking for smoother transitions, new ways to keep your sessions flowing, or just want to spend more time riding and less time swapping feet, this one’s for you.
