How do it
In surfing the matter of speed is crucial, especially when executing tricks. Before we move on the turns, we must first cover the control of speed.
1.
Every board has a nose and a tail. The nose is your gas pedal. The tail is your brake.
2.
In order to match the speed of the wave, you need to shift the majority of your weight onto the nose.
3.
When riding the wave, extend your arms forward.
4.
Your head and shoulders should be positioned further forward than your front knee. If they're positioned over your hips or back leg, you're braking.
5.
Try it out, shift your weight forward to accelerate and shift it back to slow down.
