The importance of practicing in the flat water - Liev Mitchell

Most of the freestyle we see is on waves or in holes but we can also do tricks in the flat water. practicing tricks in the flat water can be quite beneficial, from airscrews to loops you can do or practice the motions to most tricks without even seeing a wave, practicing tricks in the flat can help you understand how they work and how to do them without a massive foam pile or rushing water to distract you. Doing tricks on the flat water also requires better technique than in a feature because the moving water can't correct your imperfections. All in all flat water will improve your performance in a feature and is loads of fun.
