you just got to go out and try. try putting your front foot a little bit towards the nose from the middle. Then depending on whether its fs or bs, kick both feet equally. watch the skate rotate, and stomp it. good luck!

I think fs is easier, but do you skateboard at all? Its basically the same

I think bs shuvits are easier,but i've only ever done bs shuvits on a wakeskate. On a skateboard I find fs shuvits easier to take off stairs, kickers anything where you go bigger. take your fins off, I have the exact wakeskate as you and stuck it second try.

try putting your back foot over the screw for the fin and put your front foot in about the middle of the board and hang your heel off the edge and push it around w/ your back foot. i ride w/ fins

well just try it, but the main thing is to land with your front foot a littler heavier than your back foot.

jbt200, ha, yeah on a skateboard

i can ollie fine but whenever i try to shuv it(kik the tail around behind me, think thats bs) the board never gets high off the water and/or never stays in front of me. would it help to take out the back fin only so once you shuv it yu can have a fin?

what helps me is to kick the board in front of me a little bit, and make sure to pop before you shuvit, it makes it higher and cleaner. Just learn to ride finless. you'll get used to it quick.

i ride w/ fins but like wakemitch, said kick the board infront of you b/c youve gotta remember your going about 18-21 mph
