The duck dive allows you pass under the wave without going backwards. In a single move, you need to dive at the right moment, neither too soon (you will come back up to the surface before the wave arrives) nor too late (the duck dive will be inefficient and you will be pushed backwards) about 2 m away from the crest of the wave. The duck dive can be broken down into 3 successive phases.
The board must be held by the rails (= the edge) at chest level.
1 - Push the board under the water by straightening your arms and then
2 - push on the tail with your foot and hold your bottom high with the other foot stretched out to balance yourself out of the water. Push the board down as deeply as possible with your leg and foot.
3 - Once the board is under water, point the nose of the board upwards in order to rise back up to the surface.
Move your hands towards the nose and hold the board against you so that it pulls you to the surface.
