Generally I'd say to remain in a somewhat crouched, athletic position.  ... similar to a defensive basketball stance.  In Raimes case, I told her to stand up, because she needs to get  that board to release a bit .  She's got the rest of it.  

I'm making the spin,a little too fast. I'm a bit confused by this because I thought I would transition easily from snow to water. I can still throw 3's on snow, no 7's anymore, but can't seem to stop the board spin. I've been thinking about just going half way a few times then add upon that.

What board you riding?  Some of those skimmers can be tough to stop.  As a general tip, I tell people to pick something to look at as they come around, like the back corner of the boat.  If you're doing 3s on a snowboard, you know; the board follows your head/chin.  The idea with picking a spot is to stop your head from turning...

Had to post this pic from last night. It was amazing out there.  I got a new skimboard yesterday and felt like giving it a whirl before taking it to the beach this weekend. 

Not a Malibu this time, but I like it better over here

9 year old surfing on a borrowed Ronix Space Odyssey Powertail Kids board last week.  This board gave her wayyyy more confidence than she has on her Scamp.  Board is very buoyant and stable with three fins but has several fin configurations.

Highly suggest this board for the kids..............................And I was/am a big Scamp fan.

Now she has her own 17 model..........will be fun!!

Figured out the picture thing with photobucket but obviously not video.  Can I get some pointers on posting the video to show up (photobucket, Instagram clip)??

 

Thanks

Post the vid to YouTube and then paste the link in the forum. Pops right up.

I'm so stoked that more companies are making boards for kids. 

If only they would make boards for women...

Dude.  What a little ripper!  She's got cleaner turns than most adults!  

[teamerickson]

My 14 year old first time rope less!  Her face was priceless when she realized she was actually doing it without the rope.

Excellent!!

Finding new and creative was to make surfing even more laid back and lazy..

Can anyone articulate the pumping technique for heelside riding. I'm a regular rider and getting more comfortable riding the goofy wave on my heelside. but i want to be able to recover farther back.

Not an expert by any stretch but riding more heelside now as well.  I use ''LITTLE" chop hops on my front foot when I am way back and need to recover.  Works much better for me (either side) when I think I'm in trouble.

I've got it dialed toeside, but on the heel side is all awkward AF

I think its just gonna take time over there. I have been making it a point to ride at least once per set on my heels. I've gotten a lot better since spring, but it's still awkward!

I set the gopro to take a pic every 10 seconds. Occasionally it catches something good.

When I saw this I thought the caption should be something like... "I know my keys are in here somewhere"

This one actually hurt pretty bad. My arm and the edge of the board made contact. I have a fantastic bruise coming out...

I've been working on the 360 (yes, still) so I am only riding 2 very small fins on the board. Its so loose if  you aren't careful, it's easy to slip out.

I make a point of starting out heel side for the most part these days I started doing this to do learn transitions, but I want more of that goofy wave action. 

[Stevo]

Here's some of that awkward heel side riding capped off with a transition fail. But that glass tho.....
