Exciting Changes Ahead! 🌊We’ve restructured our footage review process to make it more beneficial for everyone. While live sessions will be on pause as we adapt to new dynamics with our two candidates, we’re thrilled to announce a fresh approach: your submissions will now be reviewed and shared here in the community!Here’s why we’re embracing this new method:βœ”οΈMore Engagement: Posting reviews here encourages interaction and brings our quieter members into the conversation. Lives were limiting, as only those free at the time could participate.βœ”οΈFlexibility for Clay: With a packed schedule of retreats next year, this setup allows Clay to review submissions remotely during his downtimeβ€”ensuring faster and more consistent feedback.βœ”οΈEasier Access: Every review and takeaway will be visible to everyone, making it simpler to learn and improve without sifting through past live sessions.βœ”οΈFocused Feedback: This organized system will help you concentrate on specific areas to improve.πŸ”” A few reminders: β€’ Submit one video at a time to give everyone a fair chance for feedback. β€’ Avoid submitting distant or surf-cam footageβ€”Clay needs clear visuals to provide effective, actionable advice.We can’t thank you enough for your support, patience, and understanding as we work through these changes together. Your willingness to adapt and grow with us means the world, and we’re so appreciative of this amazing community. πŸ™P.S. I’ve added a Google sheet in the comments for tracking your submissions. If you’d like your older footage skipped, simply select β€œY” in column F. This will indicate you’re uploading newer training footage. If you select β€œN,” Clay will proceed with reviewing your current submission. Let us know if you have any questions!

I got down to the Pump Track again and this time, although it was sunny, it was a hell of a lot less humid!

I'd been checking out videos on technique and it took me a few goes to get sorted, but, eventually, I managed to achieve a new record distanceΒ πŸ‘

Ok, it's not perfect, I'm still too much on the back foot and not getting my head low in the corners (and it was only on this run that I managed to justΒ get over that last big hump!), but I'll take the winΒ πŸ™‚

I know to use C7 Carver trucks. But does the deck matter, eg length, turned up at nose etc. or can you go on what looks pretty when you buy it

I finally got to have another try at the local Pump Track today.

I had hoped to improve my performance as I had been working on my compress and extend when surfing last week.

Unfortunately, even though it was overcast, it was *way* too humid and after about 10 tries and getting less far than I'd gone in the past, I had to quit ☹️

At least I'd just got the air conditioning in the car fixed, so I could cool off on the way home... πŸ₯΅

Sharing a video on my BH for feedback from my recent trip to The Mentawai. All comments, welcome, and of course Clayton Nienaber if you have time! Thank you!

(Last one - just wanted to learn from one forehand, one backhand)
