Setting up your noseride - note: this will apply to going backside (meaning your heels are facing the wave) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Notice how @shredsista initiates her first cross-step as she's coming out of her bottom turn, at the same time allowing the board to glide towards the top of the wave. She pushes down with her back leg through the bottom turn and at the end of the push, allows her energy to shift to her front foot to engage the cross step. Makala pauses in between cross steps to allow the wave to steepen-up, and then she engages the last two steps to the nose. Pay close attention to the wave in front of you. If the section looks like its flattening out, it's a good time to cross step back and turn. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
