She has both boards a Brigade Surf Syle and Victoria Skim style. I have a hybrid Doomswell she was just riding the brigade for fun that day.

If the wave seems too tall and steep, I move weight forward (usually people) and increase speed.

Do your run up so that you end up low on base of wave very near the platform, with your eyes glued to opposite back corner of boat during your run up , using your head and eyes to lead your rotation by looking over the shoulder with your chin over your shoulder. spot that opposite corner as you come around and maybe a little pump and your there and because of your eyes you will ride it away because your board is now pointing down the curl of the wave. It's the head that sets the "speed" so you don't come around slowly and its the eyes that stop
The rotation where you want it(many opp of you over rotate and can't stop). Eyes not moving, head not moving and rotation stops

Also learn to ride backside well to increase comfort level when you are switch heelside during the 360, many do 180, 180

Thanks for the tip man, I'll try it.

I am working on 180s and switch riding on both sides of the wave. In some ways it's like starting all over to go goofy, but I'm sure it'll pay off. Takes forever to learn new tricks though because every time you screw up the boats gotta turn around!
