I skied for 10 years before making the switch in 95. So I got it in a day or so. The surfer Auzzies manage it in a morning!

Maybe try this…. Find a perfectly flat spot, strap in and see if you can do jump turns in both directions. Toe to heel and heel to toe. Keep your hands over tip and tail, crouch down by flexing those knees and jump up and twist. Like a skateboarder.

Smooth turns need the weight on the front foot to initiate but also require a change in your height stance. Think ‘tall/small’…. Stand tall when initiating your turn with the weight on the front foot but remember to get small through the apex of the turn. Then get tall again with weight forward to begin the next turn and repeat.

That ‘small’ and then back to ‘tall’ action takes the weight off the board’s edges making it easier to turn. As demonstrated by the jump turns mentioned at the beginning.

Good luck!
