Catching Steep Waves
One of the most difficult things to make yourself do is to catch steep and fast waves. They are hard to catch because you have to catch them in such a cruical spot on the wave. You have to commit to going otherwise you can catch the wave even if you stop paddling and then get sucked over the falls.When catching steep waves you want to catch the wave near the bottom, rather than near the top. Take at least 3 extra strokes to make sure you catch the wave. It won’t hurt you to do it and it will make the takeoff a lot eaiser. Also angle your board slightly towards the shoulder so you do not have to do a bottom turn once you pop-up. Thats it, just go charge it and have fun.
