If you want to know why one rider’s turns look tighter and more playful than yours, the answer is usually sitting under the board rather than in the technique. This session is set to music with no talking, so the setup list is the useful part, and it is a carving build from front to back.
A freestyle front wing and a stabilizer that keeps it honest
The board is a Lift4 Pro on a 32 inch Lift mast. Up front is a 160 Camber Pro, chosen here specifically for freestyle carving rather than speed or glide, paired with a 36 Glide stabilizer at the back for stability. That pairing is the classic compromise: a front wing that wants to roll into a turn, and a rear wing that stops it feeling nervous when you are not turning.
Running the LCS prop with no shroud
The propulsion choice is worth noting on its own. This run uses the LCS prop with no shroud, described as the setup for maximum control and speed. Removing the shroud is a decision you make deliberately, and it is one of the levers riders reach for once the stock configuration stops feeling like the limit.
Shot from a programmed drone path
Everything is filmed with a DJI Air 3 following a pre-programmed path, with Laura running the camera, which is how the angles stay consistent from one carve to the next rather than depending on a pilot’s reaction time. The mix of close and wide shots is cut to the beat of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes, and the rider is in a BodyGlove spring suit with a green Loki windbreaker over it, which reads clearly against dark water if you are thinking about what shows up on camera.
