The key to any good grab is to know exactly where you're going to grab before leaving the water. It also helps to bring the board up to you, rather than trying to bend over to reach the board. We have a grab bag of tips, technique, and a grab vocabulary that will keep you busy practicing all winter. Start grabbing now...
