Technique

Christian and Karine are getting up close and personal with terra firma this issue, with two moves that bring plenty of style to the shoreline. First up is the Foot Plant Transition, taking last issue’s beach bounce to boss level by ditching the board and planting your foot instead. Then it is time for the ultimate curtain call, the Tail Grab Board Off Dismount. Float down, board in hand, land gracefully, and casually stroll up the beach as if you meant it all along. Perhaps practise this one in private first!

Krypt - Raley to Toeside

We all love a Raley, and funnily enough most of us learn on our preferred side, favourite foot forward, leading to a solid heelside touch down. It seems a shame to ignore the other side and deny yourself the kudos of flicking your board both ways. Hence the Raley to toeside, and just to prove it is a genuine move...
