Eurocarve
Taking inspiration from snowboarding, the eurocarve is an incredible looking way of carving on the water. Practice the "falling leaf" exercise to really dial in your eurocarve position.
METHOD

Keep handle strong and use hips to initiate powerslide
Get board round to almost 180 with gentle pressure on your toes
Allow cable to pull you round the corner and keep board fixed in position
Skills Required
Common Problems
common problems:
-
My back leg gets tired very quickly. This means you have too much weight on your back foot. Try shifting some more on to your front foot for better riding efficiency.
-
I can't stop wobbling. Stay low, use your legs as "suspension" and try to keep your core engaged whilst riding.
-
My arms get very tired. Let your arms out a little bit. The handle doesn't need to be right next to your body the whole time.
