As with all aerial moves, your gonna need speed. Work yourself up to the top of the wave until it drops out from under you. Take a couple of forward strokes to drop back in.
(1) As you accelerate down the wave, carve on your left edge. Your carve will want to be aimed slightly surfers left down the face. Be careful, if you carve too far across the wave, you will lose your speed. Keep your boat headed down. You'll reach full speed on the bottom half of the wave. Be patient! The landing is much easier made in the trough compared to the face.
(2) As you reach top speed, transfer your weight slightly behind your right butt cheek.
(3) Extend your paddle and head away from the boat as you bounce slightly and "flip" carving edges from the left to the right side. At the same time, give a small forward stroke with your paddle and throw your hips and legs into the air.
(4) Now, transfer you body positioning as far forward as possible to nail the landing. If you go really big, your landing could end up being a grind. However, most of the time youÕll land carving hard on your edge. Maintain your balance and get the boat back under you and smile.
