The first thing that came to mind from “Drop and Push†was a drill seargent yelling at one to drop and give him twenty push-ups. Could not relate that to windsurfing. Now I am wondering if it is directions to Forward Loop. As in, drop down by bending body and pulling knees up and pushing the mast and boom forward with the hands to get the forward loop going.

It means dropping your weight low and pushing through a straight front leg. It is the key to getting going off the beach, planing out of gybes, getting going after a forward, making tacks......
The key to so much in modern windsurfing.

Thanks ss59.

Got it!

Will try to consciously do more of drop and push and seek improvement through it.
