Push into the board!
While it may not be obvious watching surfing, much of the control and speed a surfer has comes from pushing into the board.
To create speed, as Hallie does on the fast part of this wave, she’s pushing through her feet into the board, almost like doing a leg press with weights. By pushing our energy into the board, it creates momentum with the board on the water. Foot placement is crucial for the board pushes, having the feet closer to the inside rail will make the board tip more into the wave. On a longboard, where there’s more surface area to control, it is easier to push into the board to create speed if the feet are closer to the inside rail than in the middle of the board. Find your push, find your zoom!!
