April 8th, 2008How to Generate Speed

World champ Mick Fanning talks about going fast in this sweet Surfline vid.

His main points:

1. Stay high on the wave at first then push down on your front foot to drop down the face.

2. Don’t spend too much time “wiggling” at the bottom or middle of the wave. Ideally you want to be zooming up and down using the whole face.

3. Crouch low then stand tall to create that nice gliding weave along the wave.
