surf stance

[63chevyll]

do i have to tell you all i would be rather riding now than typing...


anyway,
how do you guys mount the strap to the tray?
or should i just search?
strap kits, do they come with hardware?
it just seem like a lot of load on screws.

QUOTE=LBE;193055]I dissagree. Surf stance rolls look way better, and have more style (mabey not mine) but they look great when you get way off to the side.[/QUOTE]


I agree, surf stance rocks for style. I cannot ride surfstance to save my life. I have tried and failed multiple times. My feet must be in holds unless I am course riding. See JK surf stance roll below AWESOME looking.

For those who roll surf stance, what foot do you have forward and which way do you roll?

I ride left forward and I roll right, that seems like a good body position. is there a name for that? front side roll maybe?

 

[sjetrider]

I run right back, left forward ALWAYS...my ski doesnt even really need a left hold...


just watch your knee.....some of the roll attempts ive made have cracked the pole down on my knee prettty hard, but with the new -4 pole I just put on it should make a difference....



i hate riding without the front strap, but I do want to try a highroller hold one of these days....

I attempt rolls with both feet in holds and was still ripping my wetsuit and bruising my thigh w/ pole. I too was just running -1" pole and for that reason went to a -4.5" setup recently. I have not tried rolls with it yet, but I think it will help because stabs are way easier now. I feel way too far forward on boat now. I keep landing flat on straight jumps now though, cant seem to pull it back enough in air. I landed some that sounded like the boat snapped in half in Daytona, didnt feel good either.

that's "regular stance" as far as i know. i ride the same way.

if your toes point starboard and you have your left leg forward and roll to the right, you are an awesome person and a great rider.

if your toes point port and you have your right leg forward and you roll to the left, you are "goofy footed" and it means you are a freak of nature and have no business riding a jet ski or barrel rolling and should be ashamed of yourself.

everyone knows goofy foot people should be shot.

what if you were goofy footed and rolled right?

 

[butti]

i ride right foot forward and roll to the right.i havnt tried surf stance rolls yet cause i think it will be very hard for me to roll backside but i think it would be worth it to learn,should look killer!

i guess it would be like doing a sideways backflip!

that would equal a backside roll in the wakeboarding world.

I'd call that a backside roll:biggthumpup: If you were on a skateboard ramp w/ left foot forward turning right it be backside.

 

[jetskier79]

It is definitely a "backside" roll. I can't roll to the right to save my life in the holds, so the added challenge of trying to roll backside seems like an impossible feat at this point.

I see that looking awesome... and Hope to Pancake Trying ! :biggthumpup:

I'm regular footed and roll to the left which makes it a backside roll. Definitely not a natural feeling. I've tried (unsuccessfully) to learn to roll to the right just cuz I think frontside rolls look way better, so lately I've just been trying to make my backside rolls look more like a tantrum on a wakeboard, but I knocked my hood off a few times in the process.

I am stoked to try the stance, and learn some more stuff ! :Banane01:
I will let you know what I break.... :haha:

sounds easier to spot your landing though :biggthumpup:
