BRAD GERLACH'S BACKSIDE CARVE TIPS

The backside carve is one of my favorites in #waveki fundamentals 3, because to do it pure you do something different in the approach and that affords you time to add your own twist.

No pun intended here, it’s just that the tension you purposely put into the preparation for this turn is a twist. Its your awareness through practicing Wave Ki that triggers an unhurried release of that tension to create a fluid execution of the turn.

Some say this unhurried release is what defines a surfer’s style.

All I can say is that when it comes together you will like how this one feels and perhaps maybe even like how it looks!

Enjoy, practice Wave Ki and forget, use a sock or two or none, 🧦🧦…
