Can someone please tell me. When I create a post how do I know which community it is going to? Sorry I'm not very social media savvy.

Doing the beginner pathway and focusing on the walk up. Still very unstable. Putting a rolled blanket under the board really forces me to slow down. It gives me instant feedback on how the weight is distributed on the board while walking up. I hope this will help me maximize my oereo game 😁
Are you noticing anything I can fix right away before I start repeating the drill in the coming weeks?
Following the last Live Chat, I'm working on Pushing the Shopping Trolley to give myself a bit more height and speed on the ramp.
Any helpful comments or suggestions would be welcomed 🙂

I wanted to practise adding another video. This is a couple of waves from my second session at the pool. Same board, same wave.
Same day.

HEALED, but SO FRUSTRATED!
Picture is not me, but showing it's possible with those lumpy waves!
The good news is that after almost completely stopping surfing from August 2023 to May 2024, I healed my hip and ankle, thanks to great advice from Adam Knox to work with Michael Rintalla. An X-ray and MRI confirmed a bad situation on my right (front) leg hip labrum. With tons of diligent DNS work and some PT, my hip is good. Then, I had ankle surgery to "remove loose bodies" floating around my ankle joint. So, physically, I think I'm better than ever, but...
I just started surfing a bit, and I'm so frustrated!
My hip is great, but I can't take off. I'm just not committed to catching the waves.
Is there any instructional material here on surfing choppy waves from multiple swells?
Here's the Surfline swells:
Overhead to well overhead, 6-8ft, FAIR
Swells: 5.9ft, 11s, NW, 326º; 0.6ft, 7s, NE, 44º; 3.9ft, 7s, E, 94º
I even tried riding a step up, 7'2, but that was not enough.
I'm completely humiliated!
And here's a video of what it looked like: https://youtu.be/b5r9nYT1JmQ
So here is my question? How the heck to you walk up as Clay says on the bosu ball. My Hip does not reach that high? Will submit media for this. I will keep working at it. I work out a lot long distance runner, yoga, heavy weight train, very healthy diet, horseback rider, and surf, working on flexibility is has had more attention since OMBE.
I think it is ok now. Please let me know if not.
Also while I'm here and if you have watched the video. Can anyone recommend
a beach I should be near if I go to Bali at the end of July. My only request is that it isn't
too polluted.

Hi I finally have some video of myself (it's pretty ugly) from my first session at the new Sydney Wave pool.
Graham Marsden has told me once before how to get video onto this page but I can't find that now.
So the video work is produced by Flowstate Zone. I use a desktop Mac and I got the video's into my photo library.
The video's play using Quicktime and I think the file is mp4. Graham told me to turn them into youtube video. Exploring, I
discovered I could share on youtube, only I couldn't because of some incompatibility issue. I don't know if that was incompatible
with Quicktime or Flowstate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok I hope this works. I'm a beginner. This is my first of three sessions at the pool.
I am riding a JS Industries 5"8' 28Ltr Xero on the Cruiser wave. I caught 13 waves, I think there are 7 here.
I had hoped to practise less paddling (achieved but difficult when everyone is yelling at you to paddle, paddle, paddle). I
felt rude for ignoring them. I wanted to practise my oreo squeeze, but my glutes went on holiday, so cobra pose hurt a little without
their support.
My step up was average (clumsy and not as fast as I would like). My posture was poor. My focus ended up being firstly on how to position myself in order
to try to stay on the wave and secondly stay on my board at such a slow speed. In hindsight I should have taken my bigger board, a JSI Sub Xero 5"10' 37Lt .
Anyway, have a laugh, this is officially my starting point on my OMBE journey.
