Hi Brendon,
I was trying to explain that to Div yesterday, when I paddle in parallel stance on the DC 9'4 I stand foward of the center handle and on take off I take one large step foward and that usually puts my front foot 5 inches off the nose.
On take off I am often close to nose riding down or across the face. It does your head in the first few times but it works a treat.
This pic of rich shows what I am talking about, by the way when you get that far foward on a DC it hits hyperspace lol.
But remember you cant nose ride a short board SUP how silly of me!

Phill
