Shove it

Just whip it

The shove it is a windsurf jump that you can do both when riding out over a wave and when riding in as a backside aerial. Philip shows the shove it here on the face of a swell wave.

You only need a small steep section to push the board upwind with a short load on the windward rail, while the body continues to move straight ahead and lay over the flattened sail. At this moment you are lying on a wing and can kick the tail fof the board into the wind.

This move is similar to a whip when biking and feels really good. To land, push the sail forward again with more power from your back hand. It almost swings up again by itself.

The move is best learned in sideonshore conditions. A steep below half meter sized wave is enough for the jump.
