Hello, hello! Had a surf lesson today. This is the second time I got recordings of myself, and I noticed I still need to work on my stance. I would appreciate any feedback that will improve my surfing! Thank you 😁👍🏽

In packing for two days of surfing in Cape Town as we speak. Anybody have any tips for waves I should check out? Last time I was there I spent some time at long beach at Kommetjie and had a blast but I think it'll be onshore there so planning too check other spots. Will have a car so we're pretty mobile.
Bettys Bay is on the list as an option, anything else off the beaten track I should be aware off?
Also: the Kalk Bay reef looks really cool, is it worth checking out or is it super sketchy?
Any tips would be very welcome!
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 🤙🏼
Absolute light bulb moment from Clay’s new YouTube, lifting at the top of the wave!
Immediately made an impact in the bowl on the carver and can’t wait to try it in the water on Friday 💪🤙
Last weeks surf sesh. Didn't have a lot of waves this day... Was a day of the paddle... and duck diving. Seemed the biggest sets were always on my head... Typically. Was fun, and didnt have any expectations because of my fitness levels and the ocean was a bit rough. First wave I still have energy, second wave was after about 1.5 hours and the last was my last wave after roughly 2 hours.
Pop up exposes my level of fitness at the moment, I was almost unable to push myself up for Oreo. Grateful to be out in the water and for the lesson of embracing the suck never the less.
Hi, can anyone recommend a good learn to surf school for a complete beginner (47 year old female) on the Gold Coast. I'm coming for a holiday in late Oct and I'm keen to do private lessons.
Hi Clayton and Team, I need some help with my top turns and cutback. Any advice would be super helpful.
Hey Clayton Nienaber
Have you put anything out on asymmetrical boards? I imagine this platform may not be the best for a deep-dive discussion. Maybe better suited if I come on a trip. But I’d love to hear yours and others thoughts on them. Never tried one myself

Sydney Wave Pool (intermediate session, second half), Couldn’t get my front foot at the right spot, and I was leaning way too much on my back foot and on and on...
Any tips on how to go from here? and what kinda exercises should I do?
Please any help welcome!
I tried to upload the video here but couldn’t get it to work.
