This might seem like an odd question but it's something I always think about after bodyboarding. How do you know what's going on with the wave and where you are on it when riding prone? On the handful of times I actually managed to stand up on my longboard on smaller waves I could easily look around and see my position on the wave and where the wave is breaking. When riding prone I always feel like it's just "point and shoot". I feel like I go through the "proper" motions of drop in, bottom turn, and up into the lip but I never really know where I am at the time because my filed of view is so limited.

Does everyone else ride more or less blind or is it more of a "feel" thing you gain with time. Or maybe I need to adjust my position so I can turn my head around more.

I don't know, everything happens so fast. Where I ride in NJ most rides only last 5-10 seconds, especially during the summer. It's difficult to feel like I'm really in control of the board and the ride.

Still having lots of fun though! Some of the few times in life that I catch myself laughing out loud while alone.
