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:āœ”ļø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.āœ”ļøFlexibility for Clay: With a packed schedule of retreats next year, this setup allows Clay to review submissions remotely during his downtime—ensuring faster and more consistent feedback.āœ”ļøEasier Access: Every review and takeaway will be visible to everyone, making it simpler to learn and improve without sifting through past live sessions.āœ”ļøFocused Feedback: This organized system will help you concentrate on specific areas to improve.šŸ”” A few reminders: • Submit one video at a time to give everyone a fair chance for feedback. • Avoid submitting distant or surf-cam footage—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. šŸ™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 ā€œYā€ in column F. This will indicate you’re uploading newer training footage. If you select ā€œN,ā€ Clay will proceed with reviewing your current submission. Let us know if you have any questions!

Frustrating fun ! In search of help about paddling into waves at the Sydney wave pool. In advanced turns and the tail end of intermediate the draw of the wave results in a wave upon a wave when paddling in. I am catching the top wave (not the bottom one). This creates a step in the wave that I hit then go cartwheeling over the falls. Hopefully the pictures demonstrate this. Am paddling hard, am trying to sit on the right markers. However seem to be failing on 40% of the waves I catch in exactly the same way. Hopefully someone who has experienced this scenario and has a fix is able to share the learnings. Thanks in advance.

Hey Clayton Nienaber and community, looking for any feedback on this cruisey wave. The one thing I keep noticing is my posture and not happy with my walk-up — I notice I keep standing slightly side-on. Any suggestions on that, or anything else in my surfing that I’m missing or can improve is always welcome. Yeww!
