There are times when you cannot apply classic braking, because you are going too fast or because you are missing the section, so we opt to lower the hips in blows and not constantly.

It's like when you kick the clutch in a car, to give it more power and not stall, only in this case it's to slow down (look how I throw my hips and how I just hit the water, in different sections).

In the end the bell didn't let me out, but it was an epic section that let me do it without hands. Later on there is a tip on how to tube without hands.

Being inside a tube is like life itself, you control your board according to what you need to do to stay where you need to be; sometimes you will have to press the accelerator and other times the brake, but we live the same dynamic day to day.
