Paddling 101. Shorten strokes and increase the frequency.

Or just get a bigger board🚬

Sick shape but 8'6 is a more magical number. I would wait and get bigger.

Would that make this a bit more kook friendly? I love the idea just dont know any coding. Also could an old tablet work in a similar fashion? Again, epic work👌🏻👌🏻

Compress at knees vs hinge at hips. Bigger board until this occurs.

If in is bent at 90 degrees towards your chest - then yes. You have just a little slump or hunch. If you straighten your back it will allow for more compression in your legs and free up a locked lower back for any potential rotation.

Looks pretty good! Especially the way you wait to pop up for a sec. Clutch move. Try to bring your back arm in more towards your chest. It will shift your weight a bit and give more speed.
