The almighty knee. I honestly struggle with dk, had more success on a shortboard in my teens, but have committed myself to throwing huge hacks by Fall. Lots of good tips thus far, what I can add:

-angled take off is key. However you pop up, you gotta set your rail simultaneously. Since you have less volume, getting up is less forgiving and timing is critical. Have some planing speed, take off/set rail, pop up immediately after.

-can definitely grab your outside rail to stay engaged and get used to the feel.

-I use tech 2's. My winter fins are churchies, and it's tricier getting that front foot around. I plan to clip the front fin.

-especially for a bigger guy, don't even try till it's 3 ft with at least little power.

-let eat fish taco.

Imho, this is the essence of dk. If a similar turn on a surfboard is a Goshin Ryu style roundhouse kick, this is a Muay Thai low leg kick:

Thanks for the tips seldom. I'll definitely try them. Also, there has been a real lack of bodyboard threads on the forum. We must fix this problem man.

There is usually about one bodyboarding related tread a week, and there is usually about one surfing related tread a week.
