Wow, I mainly came to learn a bit on how to make tutorials. Incredible how you manage to explain something so complex in such an easy and understandable way. It's really a skill that you cannot copy. Big props!!!
Hadn't heard the "back elbow on the boom" tip before - seems like a great one for me to try, who tends to lose it with too much back arm pressure half way through still! You're still keeping hidden Shaka Tip gems from me like that one, after all these years (and f' bombs 😅)!?!
@@dietervandereyken9271 haha that's the hardest part - a willing camera person! I'm also going to try your backloop suggestions. I already commented that I suddenly saw I was doing something very wrong. Thanks for these videos, they are helpful. Short, but sweet. No one has time for 20 minutes of rambling. Have an awesome day.
@@AdrianTregoning I'm trying to keep them as short as possible while not leaving out key details! Hope the clips help you improve on the water and enjoy your time on the water even more!
No Joke, watched this in the morning only with half eyes on the video, remembered today with 4,0 Sail and got the first Shaka in my life after minimum 5 Years attempts and only shove it into sail 360 results. But also only 1 positiv attempt today after 3,5 hours and 2-5 attempts on every round. hips and backhand and upper body in front are my problems i think. Thanks for this brilliant explanations!
Great information about the wave jumps,the importance of sail size/area and your body movements and location and the sail draws to boost the jumping actions.
If you can do the Flaka the second part of the rotation is the easy part. For me the hardest part is to rotate fast enough and over the maybe first 90 degree. Most important of your tips for me are: - sail in the back / body in the front - don't carve too much (my biggest Problem) - and of course don't push with the backhand to early - splitting in part 1 and 2 of the move makes absolutly sens for me Hope there is soon wind in the south of germany and I manage to put the puzzle right together now.
your videos and tips help me so much!! would you consider doing one only on the shove it? seems like you need to know how to do a proper shove it before moving on to shakas or is it not necessary?
Great video! So many things here I haven't fully appreciated. Question: Is there a point in step 2 where you pull down into the mast base with the front hand, so as to initiate some mast base steering to further push the nose around, or is it mainly wind pressure that does it?
Hello Derek, you mean during the carve part of the 1 - 2 concept? yes as you are initiating the carve you are also aiming to have mast pressure to kind of "load up" the board for a better pop. This is also why you move the sail back first in step 1 to allow you to do this through your front arm while initiating the carve. It's very valid point! Always hard to mention everything in a 5 min clip, so appreciate pointers like this as well for everyone to learn out when reading them!
Thanks, Dieter, I hadn't appreciated this aspect of the pop. I was thinking of doing this when the sail is fully horizontal, to finish the rotation before landing. I watch this video: m.ua-cam.com/video/QpUasEA7L0A/v-deo.html&pp=ygUyZnJlZXN0eWxlIHdpbmRzdXJmIHN5bmNocm9uaXplZCBzaGFrYSB5ZW50ZWwgYW1hZG8%3D at around 0:50 and try to see what the sailor on the left is doing to get more rotation. It looks like he is pulling down hard with the front hand to drive the nose down. But maybe something else is going on, more kick with back leg, perhaps?
Best shaka tips, dieter. One question: I always struggle to get an agresive carving, might it be I have too big straps, or is it a bad technique? Thanks!
I don't think it will be the straps. The moment you carve try to really get your ass low like you would go sit down while also keeping pressure on your base plate by hanging down onto your boom. Also very important is that your weight is enough forward over your front footstrap. If you have any video's please let me know since we can plan in a debrief if you like.
finally a proper shaka tutorial, thanks Dieter
Danke, Dieter erklärt einfach soooo gut!!!! Aloha
Best explanation on youtube! Man, thanks, great vid!
Thanks man! Appreciate this feedback a lot, motivates me for the upcoming ones!

Thanks man, appreciate that feedback! Looking forward to some of yours in the future!
Wow, great tutorial! Thank you so much, Dieter!
Your welcome!
You're the man! The explanation in simply excellent, and gives me back the hope to learn this great manouvre. Thanks Dieter!
Thanks man! Appreciate it, keep me updated on the progress! Hope you get them soon!

Haha, always new key adjustments that can be made and found! On towards less F' bombs and more landed Shaka's I hope after that key tip 🤟🤟🤟
Great explanation. Nearly getting it so can't wait to try these new tips 🤙
Thanks so much for this! You are explaining it so well! Can't wait to get on the water and try :)
Your welcome, keep me updated on the progress!
Very well explained. I'll have to nail the flaka first though. The shaka is a beautiful move to see though.
Build it up step by step! Get someone to film you as well at times so you can compare & learn this way!

I’m still trying 😂 thanks for the tips!
lets hope it puts you a step closer to landing it!
Grande Dieter!!!🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for the feedback! Motivates to do some more in 2024!

Thank you! Hope it's getting you closer to landing the Shaka!
Thanks for the tips! I struggle with them when the chop is very close together, we don't get better conditions here so I'm slowly figuring it out.
Great Video!! Thx!! Think this will finally help me to fix my mistakes.
Thank you! Let me know how you progress after the tips!
