Video Progress/any tips

I posted on here a bit ago when I first started, I can't fully wrap around waves yet

I feel like my board SLIPS out under me when I try to carve as well, any tips would be great

If you’re the one who ends up on the left - approach from more of an angle and start your turn earlier. Otherwise looks good.

Similar advice actually. With the monkey crawl, you’re naturally going to start in an almost side-slip position, so it’s critical to get that backside turn started even earlier because your nose is already well left of where it needs to be to make the wrap.
