I have trouble with step 1. Hope this helps others having this problem as well. It seems that no matter where I surf, I have that "tunnel vision" mentality where I can make the steep drop frnt/bck side but I can't seem to get to the bottom of the wave! I ride almost every wave as if its a tubing wave and tend to just surf across the entire wave, staying in the middle trim line of the wave and pump through to the shoulder unless its a closeout. How do I fix this? I want to surf more top to bottom and the BT is the 1st place to start but I just can't break my trim line to get to the bottom/flat part of the wave in the 1st place! I usually have an angled takeoff aimed towards the shoulder. Is there a mini "set up" turn to break the trim line to get the nose to head to the bottom? Do I need to shift my eye gaze to the bottom right after dropping in? If so, nearly 99% of the time I forget to do this after takeoff because Im so caught up in the moment of making a steep drop.
Omg, I can totally relate to this feeling! Have the same question for ages and I also can't snap out of my tunnel. Before I know it, I'm at the end of the wave, trimmed down the line. I know what to do when I catch a wave, but if I overthink it.. I mess up. I'm really trying on clean easy waves to look at the wave besides/behind me. Still trying and hoping to 'get it'.
Angled take off, mid face bottom turn up to the top of the wave, then compress and look straight to the bottom (or bottom just in from of you ) and go straight down to a deep BT
I ride a 7'6 for a beginner but I know I can't do radical turns but I am having trouble distributing my weight and my rail gets hurried when on a relatively faster and steeper wave. Should I put more with on my back foot? Or how do I go about improving that? Thanks.
it sounds like you could be standing a little to tall. I would recommend watching the Micro Dose Episode #1 (Knifing In). You'll see how low and compact you need to be on your take off. You'll also be able to see how engaged the rails are. Let me know if this helps?
This is the best bottom turn tutorial I’ve seen!

Guys when you over think things it can become difficult. Just stick to 1 or 2 things that you can improve on each session
