Anyone have experience surfing standing/flow waves, and if so, are they helpful at all for practicing turns or is it just totally different than an ocean wave?

My schedule and the waves, or lack thereof, haven't been lining up well lately, so looking for some different things to try in addition to surf skating. No proper wave pools nearby, but a couple places have flow waves.

Thanks.

Hi all - is there any way to save/bookmark posts here?

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...
