Where you look, is where you go
In riding a bike or motorcycle, where you look is where you go.
Same for surfing. If you look down you go down. If you look to the end off the wave you go to the end of the wave.
the rider eyes are looking slightly up. Why ?
Because he wanted to go up to hit the lip. But now where are his eyes looking ?
he is now looking down to sight for a landing spot
here staring at the feet brings your body down to the feet
looking down and to the side causes the head to rotate past the butt
when you stare at the nose the nose comes to you.
looking down at the board causes the board to straighten out ....
which makes you ride in the bumpy soup. notice in the above photo the clear shoulder running away
see how she is focusing her eyes away from the soup to the clear open face of the wave Also she is surfing her " height ' , with her head over her butt. she is standing tall and not bent over
notice he is looking at something in the distance. little hard to tell
now you can clearly see he is looking at the breaking lip
look up go up. now he is looking down to go down.
Don't look at your feet. Don't look at the board. keep your eyes up and look to the future. ........... this person didn't take my advice
