I had to go back and reread the thread to see what you're on about. Reading your posts, I honestly have no clue what you're trying to say. I also have no clue what it has to do with the original comment I made about adjusting foot position when still idling through the water.Quote:

You don't know what I'm talking about because I wakeboard and get up on the surf styles like I would on a wakeboard. I can get up and just slide the board sideways for a while. You get up by pressing the back of the board down and get the nose out of the water then stand. Lots of ways to do it, just whatever works for you. All good.
I wakeboard too, and I get up the same way I always did on a wakeboard. That still doesn't explain what that has to do with a beginner adjusting their feet when idling through the water, versus doing it when up.
I get up on my hands, then switch to my feet once I’m up.

I've already said we do it different. Some do it the way you do, others get up then adjust feet. There is no 1 set right or wrong way if you're getting up and having fun. My original reply to all this was poking back at Trayson, you went wide right on me. Later.
I guess if I'm being combative, it's because you fired the first shot. This was your reply to me, when I simply agreed that I get up similar to Trayson. Reread it, and tell me how I should have taken it.Quote:

Okay, let's break down the real insight provided here:
1) moving your feet on the board can be hard for a newb.
2) flipping the board with your feet as close as possible to the heel edge will provide leverage and make it easier to flip
3) depending on board and skill and technique, it's quite certainly possible to not put your heels so close to the heel edge and actually position your feet more in riding position which will offset the need to move your feet on the board while riding; or adjust your foot position after the board has been flipped but you're still "in gear" and haven't had the driver through the hammer down is another technique suggested by shoebox.
4) I've been a stud since Day one
5) Knox is "pro" starter, but how he finishes remains in question
6) Shoebox has a crap hotel
7) I am way too entertained by myself.
You forgot #8 - dakota4ce starts on his hands . . . so I assume his past life must have been in Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus or Cirque du SoleilQuote:
