I just assumed that it was a tail manual, that's what it is in skateboarding. I pull some good ones, last 5-6 inches of the board in the water. What I do is keep a light edge to keep the line tight, weight shifted towards the back foot, pull back on the rope hard and lay into your back foot, stay as square to the board as you can, when you preload have your knees slightly bent, give it a pop as you throw your weight onto your back foot. I also do mine one handed helps to square you up.

I normally just call it a tail press in the flats. Looks good though! I have one in a video that's currently uploading to vimeo.

Looks good man, you'll have to teach me the secret to those tail manuals some day Wink

I've tried them a few times but I'm sure I just need to be a bit more aggressive. Hey I saw your buddy at the lift like a day after we exchanged numbers. I never saw a green moomba before and then my lady and I were about to put in to test the new impeller and there he was, taking it out.

I walked over and asked him if he rides with a guy named jeff and he's said yeah so I loosely introduced myself and told him that I knew you from a forum. He may have thought I was crazy. Oh well. Anyway nice riding.

Its normally done when you have lots of speed going, from a whip or just a hard cut out. Get some speed going and lay it back, pressing hard on the back foot.
