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:✔️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.✔️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.✔️Easier Access: Every review and takeaway will be visible to everyone, making it simpler to learn and improve without sifting through past live sessions.✔️Focused Feedback: This organized system will help you concentrate on specific areas to improve.🔔 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. 🙏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 “Y” in column F. This will indicate you’re uploading newer training footage. If you select “N,” Clay will proceed with reviewing your current submission. Let us know if you have any questions!

Hello guys, I'm Álvaro from Peru, and I started learning to surf 8 months ago. I usually surfed twice a month, but now I'm in the Gold Coast practicing three times a week. However, I'm struggling to improve.

I think I'm pretty bad, and maybe I can't get better because I'm using this board to practice. The reason is that my car is a Suzuki Alto, a small one, so I can't bring my other board, which is a 6'10"—though maybe it's still not long enough. Anyway, I'm not sure how to improve with what I have since I can't make any changes for now. I'm living in Surfers Paradise. Do you have any suggestions on how to get better using this board?

P.S. If anyone is living near Surfers or in the Gold Coast, is also learning, or wants a Padawan, let's connect! 🤙🏻

#nicholas Water flows up and down and so should you. Follow the flow of water. Toomuch compression can stifel that energy movement.

Clayton Nienaber I am starting to hit my forehand carves with more consistency and I think the biggest change has been going for the turn early in the wave... take off, bottom turn, forehand carve... versus trimming down the line building speed and trying to cut back from the shoulder of the wave.

I almost always bog the rail when initiating the cutback on the flatter shoulder, but this is much less of an issue when carving more in the pocket.

Does turning in the steeper part of the wave make it less likely to bog the rail since there is less water in the way?

Unfortunately after only 4 sessions to start 2025, I will be out of the water for several months following a bad shoulder dislocation. I want to stay connected to surfing and the improvement process, and have always been interested in surf coaching, so I'm looking to help my friends out by filming them from the beach. I don't have a lot of experience with cameras, are there any surf coaches out there that have recommendations on cameras to use for video analysis? Thanks for any suggestions. Hopefully I'll be getting back on my own OMBE journey soon too!

Hello guys
I started surfing in September 2024, obviously fell in love with it !
Currently in Indo at the moment for a surf trip, I have this video of me, my best wave of the day…
A lot to fix obviously, nothing more humbling then to see yourself on video, in my mind I was riping haha.

I’ve noticed that I’m using my arms pretty badly, my butt also is sticking out, way to much.
Need to understand how to use the energy of the wave to trim down the line, which I was trying to do while pumping badly 😂…

Do you have some tips to help me with that please ? Obviously gonna take some time but I’m working on it !

Thx 🤙
