The drop knee floater is a functional trick that will enable you to jump over a fast section of a wave by slipping on the lip of the wave. But this trick can also be done at the end of a wave when it closes.

           First you need to get a lot of speed in order to be able to slip on the lip, to go down again and to have a good landing. When you see that the wave will begin to break, you must go up to the lip but not to vertically. Then try to slip as long as possible on the lip of the wave, which is falling.

           Be careful, the less speed you have the less far you will slip. On the contrary, the more speed you have, the more far you will slip and the landing will be easier.

           The landing is the more difficult part of this move. You have to go down with the lip : try to go down when the lip will touch the surface of the water. If you are not coordinate with the wave, you will land in the foam and then, you will have to resist to turbulences : you will probably fall.

           With practice, you will understand that this trick is not as difficult as you imagine and that it will give you good sensation.
