SUP Barrel technique anyone?

[toolate]

Not sure if this was posted. if so apologies



i note how far forward on the board some of the riders are  and how many broken boards one can expect to see pushing it hard on a wave like this one. cant imagine how beat up they must be...and how stoked.

Thanks. A lot of crazy.

Geez. I'm trying to decide if that looks like fun or not. I'm leaning toward not.

If we say horses for courses this is a plow horse on an F-1 track. 😆

yeah it looked like the NEED FOR SPEED was not being satisfied there...
seeing all the broken toys makes me think those guys are a lot younger than me and heal faster.

This probably my favorite SUP barrel video, the Kealii Mamala section at 3:35.

Find big hollow waves on the perfect break. That's the technique.

I've been putting in the work to become better at barrel riding on SUP. A lot of work.

First, it's a lot different, and a lot more difficult than a short board.

Second, if you want tips on what not to do, I have all the answers
