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!

A couple from today. I feel like it’s nowhere near as explosive and fast as it felt (says every surfer seeing themselves surf)

Hi all! Hope you are doing well. I was lucky enough to get some footage on my last surf trip. Any feedback or comments would be super appreciated. In particular I find it pretty ticky to generate speed on my backside. Thanks in advance ☺️

I’m absolutely loving the 2 paddle, Oreo biscuit takeoff. Game changer. Thank you! But is there a size / power above which we need to paddle more before we Oreo? For example head high+ reef breaks in the Ments (I’m at HTs, then Playgrounds for several weeks and it’s forecast to get overhead & barreling). Trying to avoid getting overpowered and sucked up the face too much, but maybe you’ll just say “Oreo better mate”

Hey guys!  Maybe a silly question- there's a lot of great content- but... how do I figure out where I should start and concentrate on?

This clip is a few months old and maybe too zoomed out to see enough detail, but this type of fall at the end of the wave drives me crazy. Some variation of that fall happens about 50% of the time I go for a cutback/carve. Used to be 100% of the time, so there has definitely been some progress. What's the number one thing to focus on to prevent digging the rail and/or flopping backwards on the cutback? I can see a few things I did wrong in this attempt but what was the biggest issue?

Need to work on my feet at takeoff. They are flailing around all over the place (video linked). With the OB method, are just to my knees on the board? and the idea is to have the weight focused towards as back on the board as poss?

Also - while we are at it, my right/back knee is too outwards, ya?

Here's the board Clayton made for me. Tried it out for the first time today. Loved it! Can't wait to get to know it better. Dimensions 6'6", 21" x 2 3/4" 42ltrs. Thanks very much Clayton, I am so looking for to start Line 2. 

PS Turn around time? Felt quicker than I can make a ham sandwich.
