Surf Class 1-CROSS STEPPING 101 Why so SUP surfers need to learn how to cross step? Simply put, it makes surfing easier, more enjoyable and gives you style. How does cross stepping make surfing easier? Cross stepping will enable you to make faster pivot turns and gives you momentum to start your wave approach. It allows you to catch more waves by positioning yourself on the nose and drop over the lip of the wave. This skill allows you to catch steeper waves by kicking the board out when the nose starts to dive. By accessing the entire board with your feet you gain incredible control allowing sharper turns making SUP surfing safer for everyone in the lineup. Until you have mastered control of your board you should not surf around surfers or swimmers. Footwork allows you to access better waves and gain the respect of surfers in a sport that can be susceptible to localism. Ultimately, cross stepping makes SUP surfing more FUN!!!
