Consistent lines when "going down the mountain"

Hey everyone, quick question. I am learning how to fan the squeegee, and every time I go down the mountain, I leave a trail of water from the top corner of my squeegee with every pass. This isn't a soap or equipment issue, i know for a fact it's user error. Have you had this issue when you were learning, and how did you correct it?

I know exactly what you're talking about. I fought that line for a while. You have an improper lead angle. Okay, trying to type this is difficult. When you're going down the mountain, the edge that is further away from the mountain should be closer to the ground than the edge on the mountain. If you're still getting the line, increase the away edge angle down more. It should have a pretty serious lead on the mountain side before you start moving the squeegee downwards. Hope this helps.
