The Hang 5
Eva is a master of maneuvering up to the nose! You can see examples of her approach both front side and backside in this clip. The recipe requires solid core strength, a touch of fancy footwork (also called cross-stepping), and concentrating on centering your weight above the back leg.
Note how her back foot also hugs the inside rail, which helps her control the speed! Practice the cross-stepping on land, and put it in action when you want to move faster through the pocket or steeper section of a wave. Keep the core engaged and stay playful. A fluid hang 5 is a balance between effort and ease!
