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?
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 🤙
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! 🤙🏻
Hi all,
I’ve been trying to work on leaning in my turns so my body isn’t as stacked/balanced over the board but my latest session at the wave pool still looking very much upright. I’ve bought a surf skate to help. Any tips/drills I should focus on appreciated!
Hello everyone :) happy to start my Journey here
“Tension” Aha Moment…Now and then we all wake up with a stiff neck from sleeping wrong on our pillow right? Well I was almost healed and went surfing. Whilst waiting for a wave I had full range to turn my head with only slight discomfort.
I took off on a wave and BOOM I couldn’t even move my neck. Total paralysis. I paddled back out and sat … moved fine. Why?
I was tense and my sore neck exasperated it.
Here is me that same session with a stiff neck but consciously relaxing.
Really drove home Clayton’s point about stiffness and tension killing your movements
Looking for feedback. Was not working on training or trimming. Position, popup, stance, etc. Thanks.
