Kia Ora OMBEans.
Have recently started trying to undo all my old habits and calm my arms down a bit to try surf with more style and flow. Would love any suggestions or tips to try out on the next session. I feel my arms, in particular my lead arm is still in no man’s land.
Appologies for the blurred footage
This is a game changer when you realise there are no straight lines in nature
Hi all, quick question. I’m a little bit confused about the coffee cup idea. Is the coffee cup hand always the same as my back foot (in my case, being a natural footer that would be my right hand) or am i supposed to be visualizing the cup switching to my front hand, say in the case of a frontside cutback? Is there a video on the site that focuses specifically on explaining the coffee cup?
The most recent clip of keep surfing almost everyday after 3 months,feeling the progress but still feeling so hard to fix all the basic bad habits
Hey Clayton Nienaber and team, I’m still working on my turns. I feel like I’m not quite there and feel like I’m losing speed coming off my turns. No real spray either. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Yeeeeew! 🤙🏼
A while back I posted asking if anyone had tried any type of wetsuit dressing aid as I was having trouble with my Dakine 5/4/3 winter suit.
I finally managed to get in touch with Dakine and they recommended Gear Aid Neo Slix.
I've tried it a few times now and it's definitely been helpful. I found it much easier to get the wetsuit on, it helps it slide into place over my arms and shoulders and stopping it binding when I paddle.
The only slight drawbacks are firstly that the spray is a thin stream, rather than a "mist", meaning you really have to squirt it onto your hand, then rub it on your skin and the inside of the suit to get enough coverage and secondly that the bottle then tends to slide out of your hand unless you wipe your palm off first!
But apart from that, it's very helpful and you don't need to use a lot, so the bottle should last quite a while.
Also another surfer advised me of a better way to get the suit on.
What you do is get your feet into each leg, then roll it down to your knees so it's mostly inside out.
This lets you pull it up from the inside in stages, giving less friction than if you're just trying to drag it up from the outside.
Once you've got it to chest level, then use the lube to get it settled on your shoulders and arms.
Hope this helps 👍
