Question for the community. I have a 6’ Sharpeye Disco with a five fin setup. Will a twin fin setup work on a five fin board or are the side fin boxes too far forward to have the board ride properly?

Just wanted to share with everyone in the community and Clayton Nienaber.
This video is me working on one simple turn with the help of a few posts in the community and 20 mins a day in the bowl to practice.
3 turns over the course of 7 calendar days or so, practicing 20 mins a day in the bowl before work, posting my clips and taking the advice of the community members and Clayton.
I do realize it's still far from perfect and I have much to work on but the improvement I see in myself with y'alls help is amazing. I just wanted to say I'm proof that putting yourself out there and using the community can be an amazing resource.
Now to take it to the water...but im fully stoked on the results. Thank you everyone for all your help.

Hi everyone, do you think I’m compressed to much here or just right?

Same question here, too compressed, should I be extending now?

Hi everyone, super sad to say that my daughter and I can no longer go on the Nicaragua surf camp March 17-23. Would anybody like to take over our spots on this awesome trip?

Back in the saddle again...

Went into this session and decided NOT to worry about the second turn and focus on the first and get that down.
Goals were:
1. To be more upright, not as chest to knees as before and try to keep my arms up. (Don't know why I have such a tendency to drop them right before the turn.)
2. Toss the ball, soften the knees, open the thumb like in circling a pole, pass the coffee.
3. Not be as chest to knees working into the cutback or 2nd turn.

Overall feel it was pretty successful. The first turn does feel easier. Still want to keep those arms up more, but at least I feel like my back is straighter.

Just trying to get that 1% better each time...

John Kuras You motivated me to give the figure 8 a go. I've practiced single turns in these corners but never tried to link them. I had a bunch of failed attempts before finding a little rythm. I kept jackknifing on the front side turns in my early attempts and stalling on the backside. I found the main thing that helped was looking for the opposite wall as I went through the turn. I can see this being helpful for getting the head around on turns in the water, but I've found these sharper turns aren't necessarily realistic for where I am at in my surfing. Having corners opposite each other with a more mellow turn would probably be better. Something closer to the OMBE bowl.

Anyone have specific board recommendations for line 3? Im surfing in florida where the waves are generally pretty mushy and powerless. I’m currently riding a 7’2 nsp funboard and I definitely feel like Ive moved on to line 3 and am now looking for something more responsive. Since Im dealing with mushy soft waves I know (based off watching everything i could find on this site) that i want something with a wider nose and a swallow tail. I’m just not sure what brands, specific boards, and dimensions I should be looking at getting.
