Hey guys! So I’m looking more at the wave now which is opening me up more than last time I posted! There’s things I know I need to work on .. 1. getting back foot on tail pad (not in front of it like I’m doing) 2. Relax more 😆3. Try to get faster feet on the pop up and of course try not to hunch and have better posture overall.. for my next session I might just try to focus on one thing though and was wondering what would be the next biggest priority.. I have been prioritising looking at the wave and relaxing as much as possible and dont want to stop doing that want but feel I can maybe squeeze in one more thing now, my instinct is telling me to focus on getting that back foot to land on the track pad, but any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated 🙏🙏🥰🥰

So I turn, hold it longer than usual, come back around and…..no speed. Where did I go wrong?

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. What part of the wave should I look at when popping up backside? When I look down the line I tend to outrun the wave. When I look at the bottom of the wave I get hung up. I can’t drop in backside and look at the top of the wave so I’m not sure what to look at. Thanks for any advice.

Month of Surf Training in September:

Decided I am going to dedicate myself to 1 month of surfing/ surf training everyday for at least 30 mins a day.

If there are waves ill surf even if it is just catching white water on a foamie. I'll practice my pop ups and weight shifting and how that effects board movement.

If no waves I will paddle up and down the beach for 30 mins. Work on paddle endurance and low back strength.

If it's inclement weather and I can't get in the water I will surf skate, weight train, stretch, bosu mind surf while watching a John john video.

30 days of training or working towards my goal of improving every day.

I'll come back on October 1st and let every one know how I progressed.

My current baseline: I can pop up with little to no issues. I'm comfortable in the ocean regardless of wave size. I can get down the line with minor compression and extension.

Goals:

Paddle endurance

Working towards line 3 surfing (compression/ extension, arm control, utilizing more than the bottom of the wave.)

Doing a turn! Any turn will do to start....

Really want to get cutbacks down.

Let's see how it goes!

Looking for beginner women surfers to go surfing with 2x a week at Torrey pines!

Hey guys! I’m uploading this video from Cabo Matapalo, Costa Rica, to get some feedback. I think I have a pretty good idea of what I need to improve from everything I’ve learned in the Ombe videos, but I’d love to confirm these points so I know I’m on the right track.

I’ve been surfing consistently for over 8 years since I moved to Costa Rica. I’m 35 years old and currently riding a 5'10" Pyzel Alien with 30 liters of volume.

I haven’t practiced much on a surf skate — only a couple of times — and I know it would help a lot. I hope to add it to my training in the future.

Here’s a summary of the points I think I need to improve:

1. I feel like I’m not putting enough weight forward after the drop to generate speed down the face. I also think I could take a more aggressive line on the drop to set a deeper bottom turn into the pocket.

2. I think I need to keep more compression during my bottom turn, and I also notice my front arm getting a bit in the way.

3. When I go for a manoeuvre, I feel like I’m still not turning my head and shoulders enough — I’m not rotating my body as much as I should for a more radical turn.

Thanks! Pura vida 🤙🏼

Have a chance to record my front & back side turn on ramp, how can I make it smoother & the head over bum method... Thanks in advance...

Heyooo 👋 anyone in Nicaragua in upcoming 2 months? 😁
