Went out for my first hurricane swell and had a blast today. Definitely got worked more than not but I caught a few good ones. Need to learn how to flutter kick and duck dive better but that will come. Hoping everyone else scored today!
A flutter kick is when you snatch a snapper blue with your hobbit foot for a mid session snack….its all i got for that.
Yea my bad I looked at when it was posted too. My bad. My brains still recovering from all the excitement yesterday and today
flutter kicking is what you do with your legs when you freestyle swim aka kick your legs. does anyone have any tips for doing that? im sure itll come with practice but it just doesnt ever feel right.
So you need us to tell you how to kick your legs when you paddle, and then you give somebody sh!t for bein a smarta$$ to you in their answer? Good luck with that barney.
Don't bother kicking your legs, waste of energy, it's all positioning, timing, and paddling efficiency
Or get a WaveJet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2CWgyLp1P4 Seems like cheating though. Bet they go over big in the line-up. Could see their use for disabled or handicapped folks wanting to surf or perhaps for lifesaving purposes.
Forget the flutter kick. Try the frog kick instead. Much more effective in getting into 23 foot barrels.
right on! ive actually been working on this new backstroke method today! sets me up perfectly for the drop!
yeah that makes sense i just always feel off balanced whenever i kick goals for the week will be to work on faster paddling and a little bit of kicking
