Instructions

    • 1

      Windsurf with as much speed as possible on a broad reach. If you are wearing a harness, unhook it.

    • 2

      Step backward off the side of the board, back leg first, followed immediately by your front leg.

    • 3

      Maintain a tight grip on the boom.

    • 4

      Allow your bottom leg to skim along the surface of the water.

    • 5

      Pull your legs back up onto the board before you lose speed. Raise your rig to aid in the lift.

    • 6

      Put your feet back in the foot straps and continue riding.
