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!

Short video of me doing my daily morning bowl ride. I know the angle is horrible, unfortunately at that time in morning no one available to film me. I am going to try to get a better video for next month's live reviews, if I can get my wife to video me. It is a relatively small bowl with a decent hip on one side, just working on my stacking and compression/extension.
Criticism welcome. Thanks in advance... yeeewwww.

Surfing is your own journey but when you share it across the So cal state in coalition of surfing from Baja to Santa Cruz you are part of Ohana. Dedicated and family when we lose special people in our Ohana. Blessed and grateful.

Hi Everyone
I'm back from Bali. What can I say - I loved it, hated it, wanted to come home, never wanted to leave.
It was unreal, except for a bout of Bali Belly.
Didn't do a huge amount of surfing. It was too big for me, but spectacular to watch.
I did find the courage to go out into what was probably the biggest surf I have ever been out it.
How big is that? I don't know. Big enough that when it looked like a wave was going to break on top
of me, I didn't just sh_t myself, I began to pray in earnest to the man upstairs.
Surfed mostly at Dreamland, which at high tide developed a really wicked dumper right on the sand.
This made it scarier getting out of the water than getting in.
It wasn't a complete disaster I decided to pick up some of these bigger waves after they broke, some
reformed enough for me to ride a bit of the face so I chalk that up as a win.

So amazing today. A sea world dolphin 🐬 show while patiently waiting for waves like 75 of us. A bit anxious due to the last fin to the head accident but went back out with the crowd with helmet this time. Worked on “ looking to go”. Doing better. Breached dolphins and flying in the air so spectacular. Grateful.
