This past week was one of the best of my early surfing career. Yet, I’m still having issues with bending too much at my hips and hunching over when turning down the line. Any tips for standing up more and engaging the knees? It feels more stable to bend at the hips sometimes.

If you watch videos of the best surfers, mixed bag of bending at hips vs knees, some are clearly straight back bent knees, common in twin fin and fish surfers for rail weighting distribution and finesse …others bend a lot at the hips as well. Watch clips of who you want to surf like and practice the movements at home

I’ve noticed this thank you. It seems like even those that bend at the hips aren’t putting their shoulders as far over the rail as I am. Need to straighten my upper body a bit more and be a little less rigid.
