question ~ when you see the nose of your board about to pearl, are you stepping back & enjoying the glide?

Good question.. Most of the time I'm not stepping back and I'm enjoying the pearling..

In these light conditions stepping back tends to kill the glide.

I used my big rear camera mount on todays downwinder so when I post that vid you should be able to see what I do with my feet.

I'd be interested to hear what others do.

HI DJ,
Looks to be only around 15 knots? Would that be right?
Certainly looks nice!
And are you on your 14 footer or the 12'6"?
Cheers,
Ken.
