Slowing flip rotation

air blair

you are the reason
"Fist full of foam" Blowsion video Ross champion gets into detail on speeding up and slowing it up.
Flat or tail in flips are the worse. But ya hit her before the curl no hop before launch is my 2cents. In the video he says. You can yank pole twice and a head whip if you feel you coming up short.

Timing when hitting the wave has big affect in your rotation. I tend to hit them late, when they are literally peeling over and the I don't have to pull very much at all, Just looking back pulls the nose round.
If you are doing bigger waves trying hitting it earlier to slow it down or like the guys say surf stance which I haven't even tried.
 
I can barely flip a coin, but the info here has been priceless.

One day, wabbit, one day I'll get you!

Well i thought i'd bump this thread up.... after yesterdays surf session took it's toll on my knees.....Several flat landings from a good height has left me feeling it today.
So next time i'm in 6 foot plus surf im trying surf stance flips to slow the rotation down. It will only be time before i do some real damage if i carry on flat landings :eek:
