#SeeaTipTimeTuesday Lean Into It!  Watch here how @Rosiejaffurs controls her speed and balance while on the nose.  First, she gets her hang 5, and waits until the speed of the wave and the board meet before moving to the hang 10.  This is a hard feeling to describe as in the exact timing to move into the 10, just keep trying and you're muscle memory will develop. Once Rosie is holding the 10, she leans over her board to give the board more momentum.  As the wave steepens up, she moves back into her hang 5, where she uses the bend in her legs to push the board down the face of the wave.  If she hadn't done that small adjustment, the wave may have passed her, leaving her stuck at the top of the wave.  By leaning into it, she maintains the boards momentum.  Watch her cross step back in the whitewater as well.  This finishing step is as critical of them all, and requires commitment and trust in your feet to move the board quickly beneath you! .
