SUP guys,
Im fresh off the boat from the big island of Hawaii and livin it large in Brisbaine.
I read Bnaccas post of havin trouble with the sliding of the tail and just wanna say I too suffer from this problem but more so when i whack a massive section and I slide the fins all the way around into a 360. I know it must look tricked out when people see me do this from the beach but I wanna sometimes be able to just do a normal off the top reo, old skool style!!! I ride a thruster set up, naish 9'3 that my buddy Robby in Oahu kindly set me up with.
If any one has any suggestions I would be amped to take them on board, SUP style.
Thanks for keeping it real in Sup Sup cyber space and Ill see ya all in the water.
A hui hou and peace out

yo steviebobby

nice pic of yourself dude

love the mullet and speed lines combo

drop your centre fin back more maybe?

and keep tha rail buried through the turn while following the rotation of your upper body nice and SMOOTH like

you maybe flattening your board halfway through your turn causing it to SLIP n SLIDE out or not rotating the upper body and following it

by the way nothin wrong with a bit of tag and release

and if your sliding the tail out like goatman on the cover of casso's new mag its all good

rock on

Moving my centre fin back has helped. My SUP might ride similar as well, more like a shortboard that nose rides.
