Big Drops - how to make them easier


Everyone thinks about bigger and bigger waves in surfing, developing your larger wave surfing has it's problems, main one is the drop! the drop is more critical as it's bigger and faster but if you angle the board more across the wave like in the above photo it gives you more time and makes the drop less steep, it's like in skiing you don't ski directly down the hill (unless your an Olympic skier) you traverse across the ski slope to one side, the principle is the same in surfing and you will have a better wave ride. practice in smaller waves before tackling larger waves.
