The best conditions getting barreled is usually shallow and kind of doubling up conditions where it kind of draws off the bank or the reef. Usually with a good wave you can just be in the barrel the whole way from the start. Try not to go too fast and just making sure that I'm deep enough on the wave. Every wave is different so it depends where your takin off on the wave too. Try to get in behind it so you can kind of just see it just about a break but your in a nice spot where it's not sucking out too much underneath you. When your bottom turning underneath the lip, you don't want to bottom turn too hard and you want to stay really low on the wave. Usually you want to be sitting right in the bottom of it. You know you can kind of creep up the face a little bit to get some speed and come back down. Sometimes you have to really straighten out and point your board to the beach and wait for the wave to kind of catch up to you and then bring around and get back underneath it until you’re right in the hook of the wave which is the perfect spot, which is right by the foam ball. If you want to get deep, you can stick your arm in the wave and just kinda hold on and when you feel like your deep enough just kind of rip it out and maybe do a little pump or something. If you kind of want drive you can creep up your surfboard and come out of that front foot a little more. There's a lot of speed in a hollow wave so you can really put your foot down and you get more speed. It depends on the speed of the wave, you can just kind of, when you’re on the wave you can kind of feel it out and see what the wave’s doing. Sometimes you can just stand there and just, you know the wave does it all around you. Then other times you trying to get ahead of it a little bit more or your trying to stall. Your just trying to feel the speed of the wave when you're on it. The most important thing I think is when you're paddling I think to position yourself to try to be behind the peak so your on the best part of the wave. Try to stay strong in your stance you know and dont try to move too much in the barrel, usually your lines are pretty long and drawn-out. Thanks for watching and hope y’all are getting spit out of the barrels. -Dean Morrison
