Tysm, I would always catch my toe edge trying to go wide for a turn on the cables, and wasn’t able to get wide enough until now!

Great advice! Yes especially keep that mast tip pointing to the wave, mostly things will be ok. Board to wave? Disaster beckons. When plodding out timing is everything - the wave breaks in front of you, fine, go over the whitewater - the wave hasn't broken as you get to it, fine, sail over the ramp. However assuming forward motion and some power in the sail. I've found that surprisingly large waves can be sailed through even if they break on my head. Just keep everything at 90 degrees to the wave as you get engulfed. Furthermore, if you do lose it when going through, you are already ahead of your kit in respect to the wave, so it will be blown *off* you, not *into* you - whereas an ill judged dismount might put you into a bad position. Of course with really big waves discretion is the better part of valor!

"with really big waves discretion is the better part of valor!" INDEED...Sounds like you have some good experince in the waves - enjoy

@@lagoonwatersports5188 I got my shorebreak initiation with Lagoon Watersports many years ago - thankyou to all at Lagoon for the tips, advice, and encouragement to just get out there and do it (safely)! Now I sail on the west coast of Portugal, the waves are quite different, ocean swell more than wind swell, but the principles and the attitude are the same😀

Legend has it that a PWA event came to Hove one year - they launched at high tide and half got mashed. Pro or not, Hove shorebreak doesn't care, it will eat you if you get it wrong!
@LagoonWatersports2 ай бұрын
Yeah the PWA event ran for a few years in Brighton between the piers. The shorebreak was bad one year and it took down a lot of people. Us mortals can avoid high tide on days like this and still get a.good sail. But the Brighton - Hove shorebreak can be very tough on big days at high tide. All about timing ... timing of when you sail ... timing to go at a falt momnet and not make a mistake...

Cool vid! Sometimes they dry up at low tide, very important to stay behind the swell and wait for the set to come through to feel the beach with water. Worst case lean back, push super hard on the back foot and let the white water guide you in!

Thanks for the tips! Good vid, it took me years of training to get in at my home spot - on some days it is similar to Hove but dead onshore and sandy...also sometimes underpowered. Has been easier to ride 4 meter waves than to get in that thing :D

Awesome! Thanks for the video, I’m new to wakeboarding but absolutely loving the sport so far! I’m hoping to try and progress to some simple surface tricks once I get my toe side edge sorted out. I’ve found that I’ve been getting whipped round a lot of tight corners because I haven’t been on my toes enough.

Can you make a comparison between heavy surfers' and lightweight surfers' equipment and setup ? Assume you have 2 surfers with 200lbs(90kg) and 150lbs(70kg) weight. Or two surfers of same weight 70kg but different height, 160cm vs 190cm... Just assume same wind conditions ,same surf experience, say 20knots wind and intermediate level, both are using harness line... How should they choose their equipment?

How do I go from the beginner position to the further back and out positions for footstraps? It feels all wrong. What else do I need to change. I can plane/blast in both footstraps in the beginner position. Thanks
@LagoonWatersports2 жыл бұрын
It is quite hard to give advice without seeing you sailing. It sounds like you need to get a bit more pressure on the fin so you can lean out more. try pushing through your back foot a bit more and leaning further out committing more to the harness. You should find with some practice that helps. You will get much better performance with the states further out and back in most circumstances.
