I Struggle to maintain course ...el_guestos wrote:Billie,
when you say you can't go toe side, what exactly happens, do you lose all speed and stall, go over the front of the board or just struggle to maintain the correct course?

Had a look yesterday to the Mystic book 2013 presenting all the new items. They are launching an "Asymmetrical Wave Harness" designed for Regular or Goofy riders, with a slider bar.SSK wrote:Got to say I am pretty impressed. This sport is hard enough to learn, cannot imagine doing it in prosthetic. Since you are at a disadvantage on bending and gripping with your feet, you may want to look into a sliding bar like the Dynabar to give you more advantage. I have never tried this but from what I read this makes going toe-side much easier. I have to assume this is true because when I go from my seat harness to my waist it is much easier to go toe side. Therefore if I am in the ocean I ride my waist harness. A sliding bar should increase it more. However, everything people have said is true, most people will never be as efficient toe side.
