Lately I have been putting some real thought in to how I can get more out of my turns.
I have been concidering what line to approach the manover depending on how much speed I have, at what point do I apply max rail power and how can I transfer that power into speed throughout the turn and set up for the next one.
ALso thinking what turns Im going to try for even before I get on the wave.
At the moment Im soo close to getting the carving 360 in my book of tricks- I have been trying these for a while and am almost at the stage of doing them regualarly. They look awsome when done at full speed and feel great driving off the bottom really hard.
So , whats everyones fav manouver and do you have any tips to help the best of us.????
I found this little gem to help along the way www.surfingvancouverisland.com/surf/tricktips/index.htm
My top turns on my backhand are suffering big time atm, its like I cant rotate like before.. Its giving me the sh!ts 
Well once you get 8 foot of board above the lip,now that's my trip,whoops trick 
Without sounding like a total tosser I have a simple mind set.
Paddle,catch and smash. I don't think to much in advance other than killing anything that comes my way. Yep I am the longboarder from hell.Having said that I surf where there are many waves,but I wait for the down the line bumps and let the bigger ones slide by because they are a steep drop and close out. I love the ramp stuff down the line.

^^^ thats awsome- yeh that would also be one of my favorite moments of surfing.
Hey Thommo, ever noticed how much easier Barrel riding is when you breath in there
[}:)]
Just curious because it looks like a spot I visited once years ago before the height of its popularity. Haven't been back since but I have fond memories of that keyhole in a large swell. I will be up the road later on this year for a couple of weeks. At the place that's arguably more well known nowadays but was less well known back then.
no it`s not that spot........i know where u mean, the reef does`t even look like that there, but i might run into you where your thinking of later this year....alls good it`s no secret anymore.
Legion,i think if u want to know something it`s probably better that u p.m. me,...just that it`s hard to keep on the topic other-wise...i will answer u be it a yay or nay....
.
Try it next time- for some reason it all seems heaps easier if you have a few breaths in there. Maybee cause it relaxes you a little??? I used to be really tense and stiff whilst in the bazza, as soon as i loosened up and relaxed a little I had loads more controll and enjoyed it even more..... gee that almost sounds wrong
LMAO YEH HES BIG WET AND HOLLOW- HE'S SOO GOOD LOOKIN THAT I EVEN GOT HIM AS A PROFILE PIC ATM
Yep, keep your centre of gravity as low as possible and bend your knees
Oh thats the poo stance, na got no idea 
The only air I get is when I fart!!
nope....just a sore back..... close though sry bout the quality..home movie

Oh, thommo thats sick!! hows that first shot.....f@rk looks like you are a trip to the moon ya that high
