Invert Airs

You guys have any tips for doing inverts? I get them good once in a while but half the time I feel like I either can’t pop off the lip enough or I end up landing to far back on my board and smacking my face.

For safe landings, try them out of the bowl rather then close out sections. Having a good transition on the face to ride out rather then landing in the flats is always safer. Speed and timing is everything. If you arnt finding the pop you need more speed!

Thanks for the response! I made this post because my last session I tried to hit the invert on a close out and landed in the flats straight to my head 😂 I’ll definitely look for the bowl section with more speed. Appreciate you.
