No Joke, watched this in the morning only with half eyes on the video, remembered today with 4,0 Sail and got the first Shaka in my life after minimum 5 Years attempts and only shove it into sail 360 results. But also only 1 positiv attempt today after 3,5 hours and 2-5 attempts on every round. hips and backhand and upper body in front are my problems i think. Thanks for this brilliant explanations!

finally a proper shaka tutorial, thanks Dieter

Hadn't heard the "back elbow on the boom" tip before - seems like a great one for me to try, who tends to lose it with too much back arm pressure half way through still! You're still keeping hidden Shaka Tip gems from me like that one, after all these years (and f' bombs 😅)!?!

Great information about the wave jumps,the importance of sail size/area and your body movements and location and the sail draws to boost the jumping actions.

Best explanation on youtube! Man, thanks, great vid!

I’m still trying 😂 thanks for the tips!

Thanks for the tips! I struggle with them when the chop is very close together, we don't get better conditions here so I'm slowly figuring it out.

Wow, I mainly came to learn a bit on how to make tutorials. Incredible how you manage to explain something so complex in such an easy and understandable way. It's really a skill that you cannot copy. Big props!!!

Very well explained. I'll have to nail the flaka first though. The shaka is a beautiful move to see though.

You're the man! The explanation in simply excellent, and gives me back the hope to learn this great manouvre. Thanks Dieter!

Great explanation. Nearly getting it so can't wait to try these new tips 🤙

Wow, great tutorial! Thank you so much, Dieter!

Grande Dieter!!!🔥🔥🔥

Thanks so much for this! You are explaining it so well! Can't wait to get on the water and try :)

Danke, Dieter erklärt einfach soooo gut!!!! Aloha

Great Video!! Thx!! Think this will finally help me to fix my mistakes.

Best shaka tips, dieter. One question: I always struggle to get an agresive carving, might it be I have too big straps, or is it a bad technique? Thanks!

Great video! So many things here I haven't fully appreciated. Question: Is there a point in step 2 where you pull down into the mast base with the front hand, so as to initiate some mast base steering to further push the nose around, or is it mainly wind pressure that does it?
