Power Slides

A power slide is an aggressive sideways slide where you spray water by carving hard and releasing the edge. It's a side slide with style and power. Approach with speed, rotate the board 90 degrees, and press hard into the water to create a wall of spray.

Key tips

• Build up speed before initiating the slide
• Commit to the rotation — half-hearted attempts catch the edge
• Press hard through your heels or toes depending on the slide direction
• Use power slides to set up power slide 180s later
