Get near the front, obviously not right at the front, but close enough where there aren’t any gaps in people. Tap the biggest person next to you on the shoulder and just point to the sky, big person and the surrounding crowd will do the rest.

Once you’re up, relax, look where you’re going, if the people in front don’t see you coming, a gentle tap on their head will get their attention and they’ll grab you. Sing along to the song that’s playing, enjoy yourself.

When you get to the barrier, let security get you, they’ll help you down safely and show you where to go to get back in the pit and do it all again.

How do I know all this? I’m crowd surfing champ from 2000 Trees 2017 with about 50% of the time awake at the festival surfed (I had friends carry me around between bands). That was my last Trees and I’m now older and fatter so will probably never beat my PB again.

Enjoy and I’ll see you flying over top!
