This 3-minute drill shows you how foot pressure turns into hip rotation, before you even get in the boat.
Leg drive is one of the hardest surfski skills to learn, and “you’ll know it when you feel it” isn’t much help when you’re starting out. This simple land drill helps you feel the connection between foot pressure and hip rotation. You press through the whole foot, then let that pressure move the same hip forward, slowly and in a small range, just like in the cockpit. It only takes a few minutes and a patch of ground, and it may be the shortcut to finally feeling what leg drive is.
