Surfing takes years to master, but once you are able to do heelside and toeside turns in flat water, you are ready to tackle the surf. Ben Myers demonstrates what you will be able to do with a little practice. Photo: Stephen Whitesell

The Off the Hook Off the Lip

An off the lip turn is basically just a heelside carve timed to happen on the face of a wave. This is the simplest way to begin having fun in swell. Practice this turn in small waves before moving up to the big ones as mistakes will hurt a lot less.

RELENTLESS ROOTS: The Liquid Force Story

RELENTLESS ROOTS: The Liquid Force Story

When I learned to kiteboard, my first board was a 171 cm Liquid Force Picklefork. It was big, heavy, and had four sharp corners that were always trying to murder you. I thought it was the coolest piece of equipment ever. We all laugh at the Pickleforks now, but the design helped kiteboarders shift from directional to twin tip boards.
