Do I need to get a really light board to get this to work out?
It's a combination of getting yourself enough speed.... fade way back in the wave and pump yourself forward... and timing your "ollie" motion correctly.
That coex might not be fast enough to get you the speed to ollie off the wave easily. Out of our crew, there's only one guy getting any kind of measurable air, and he also has the fastest board. It's a quadfin walker project board and it cuts HARD and moves FAST.
