do a re entry?Ive recently been able to drop into waves and ride them on an angle, but l quickly lose speed and eventually get swallowed by the soup. l see all those hotshot kingpins out there carving up a storm and re entering the wave from the crest.what are the ideal movements for re entering a wave?

theres really no way to explain that, it differs from wave to wave, & from surfer to surfer. to avoid getting swallowed by the soup, surf the unbroken part of the wave, along it instead of towards the beach. to gain speed when the wave is slow, pump ur board from rail to rail. this can get u amazing speed & is good to prepare for most all maneuvers.
by reentering the wave u mean a bottom turn to the top of the wave, followed by riding back down it right? keep surfing & it wil come with time & practice.

learn how to pump with ur surf board thn u can do tricks

learn to paddel.

Good lucky!

If you're getting swallowed by the soup, try putting more weight on ur front foot. Remember that ur front foot is ur gas pedal & ur back food is ur break on a surfboard.

As far as re-entry goes, try some cutbacks first before u ''exit'' & re-enter waves. Put lots of weight on the gas pedal & get ahead of the wave & swing ur backfoot foward with the board & then recover. Once u get that down, re-entry should come naturally.

Hope that helps.

what you need to do is stay at more then a slight angle not parralell with the wave but just about. pump up by shaking up and down. when the wave is broken stay on the soup and not in front of it. this should help
