Switch Riding

Switch riding means riding with your non-natural foot forward. Keep hips level, shoulders quiet, handle low, and pressure even through both feet.

Start on open water before adding corners, edges, sliders, or kickers. Match your regular stance: knees soft, board flat when neutral, eyes looking down the line.

Progression note: use slow, clean laps first. Switch control is base work for fakie landings, 180s, transfers, and switch obstacle approaches.
