I've had 3 days of this size surf and all the pumping to get the board moving ,my ankles are killing me today ,maybe I'm getting old .

I had another think about what you said creek ...my back foot does the back and forward thing ...when doing the cutty its back ,but going along i move it forward ...maybe a foot length ...but I've never been able to turn the flow well without it all the way back ,but yes it does stall a little ....other boards like the acid ,will still turn ok with the foot forward .I would really like to try some more boards ...but which one ..
