Spank My Wookie

So after my brother sliced off a part of his forehead on Sunday, he decided to sit at the beach and watch me flail around. The conclusion of his constructive criticism? "You're stiff, not natural, need to crank the turns more!"

Granted I was surfing backsided, ground swell was kicking, 2-3 minute lulls, about waist high, consistent, and clean. So I surfed stiff. Damn it. Here i was thinking I made some progress on the way I ride. Let's the positives...consisten take-offs more or less, bottom turning, some miniscule cutbacks, what else? oh yeah. Stiff..

Ok, so I need to pop up and crouch some more, as well train myself to look ahead and not down. I've been able to look up a few more times than before, but still not enough. "Trust thy equipment, son!" That's the new motto. Oh yeah..and a few more steps up to the tip won't hurt either. I can get one, maybe two down. Then I just fall over, or the board sinks.

What will tonight hold? stay tuned.
