Technique

Christian and Karine are back again, and they have two new moves for you to learn! First up, they are refining your beach start with the two-footed approach, no more awkward hopping around with one foot in. This is all about dropping the board and springing on in one smooth movement. Then they move on to the beach bounce transition, full of fun, a few inevitable slow-motion wipeouts along the way, but once you have it dialled, you will be in complete control.

Toeside Nose Grab Front Loop Transition

This could almost be considered a touch old school. Remember those mutant boys, Shinny, Tobias, James, Flash et al.? They had a seemingly infinite number of variations that made changing direction look as positively exciting as the ginormous airs, spins and board offs (all with Mach 10 landings) that seemed commonplace amongst a freakish few back then. Nowadays there’s a...
