Grabs
While in the air, if the rider reaches down to the board and clasps
their hand on it, it's a "Grab". There are lots of different
types of grabs and many variations that can be done alone or added
to other tricks.
When it comes to adding a grab to a trick, the same principles apply
to wake-to-wake jumps as inverts. Grabs add style to an individual's
riding and can be added to all tricks.
-
Grab
the board once you're in the air. Its helpful to look exactly
where you're going to grab before you attempt this move. Bring
the board to you! Bending your body for a grab will pull you
out of proper body position.
-
Keep
the handle as close to your hips as possible. This will allow
you to control your rotation when performing an invert or a
poke.
-
Let
go of the board and prepare for your landing by looking at the
horizon.
