Asking for some help here.
Recently got back on the twin pin for a few sessions. One at wonky but solid Lowers, one at Ponto, and one at a closeout beach break. Strangely, I struggled the most at Lowers, where the waves and sections were a little flatter-faced than the other breaks.
Bottom turns felt really strange. As I would come off the bottom, the board would sharply pivot in an uncontrolled way at the end of my turn rather than drawing a smooth arc up into the pocket. This caused me to lose momentum and have to awkwardly adjust my weight and angle as I initiated a top turn. My brother says that I'm surfing too back-footed, trying to "thrust" the board at the end of the turn. The board wants a more even footed approach on turns.
It's strange because these same mechanics result in a smooth bottom turn with lots of projection on my Hess quads and Album Plasmic.
Looking back at the footage, I appear to be too backfooted pumping the board on flatter faces as well. It looks more like I'm squirling around on the tail rather than getting drive and projection.
Here's the footage. I'm the guy deepest on the peak. You can see it especially on the first bottom turn.
Anyone experience something similar with this board?
