Anyone else tried to upload footage for the November live sessions? Is there a file limit? Can’t seem to be able to upload my mp4 file…Thanks all!
Called off work today, went surfing for 3 hours!
Perfect fall day in South Carolina, 80 degrees, water just cool enough for a 3/2, sun shining, off shore breezes And only 3 dudes out. Granted SC doesn't have great waves, but it was a fun day regardless. Got a couple card board slides in, worked on some things, tried some new turns I've never done. Feel like I'm much better than I was before I joined OMBE, thank you for that!
Also, Decided my previous higher volume board is no longer needed as I feel I've progressed enough to drop down in volume again.
Getting 1% better every time I go out.
Which board should I be looking to buy next?
I currently ride an 8 foot soft top and am able to ride down the line in both directions no problem just from angling my takeoff. Im looking into purchasing a midlength to start learning how trim properly and generate speed.
I’m 5’9” and weigh 195 lbs. Also I’m surfing in Florida where the waves are generally pretty mushy. Does anyone have any recommendations for either specific boards, or at least some dimensions that I should be looking at buying?
Thanks guys!
(Also I completeded the beginner pathway, which was awesome, and have moved on to the intermediate pathway. Which is another reason why i think its time to graduate from my soft top.)
I would consider myself a line 2 surfer at this point, actively looking for opportunities to practice bottom turns and connecting them with cut backs. I do feel that I struggle with the concept or feeling of riding the rails. And as a surf enthusiast, I'm intrigued by all board shapes and sizes. I currently ride a 7 footer pin tail mid-length mostly. Would riding a smaller fish help or hurt the process of learning to ride the rail more? Thoughts?
Hi all!
I’ve finally started getting more video footage of myself surfing since the wave pool opened up. I have been working on trying to use the whole wave by going top to bottom but one thing I have noticed is that my right hand/coffee cup hand seems to be mostly stuck in place. Any advice?
Thanks,
Paul
Surfing the advanced setting at the wave today. I often lose momentum. Looking at the photos I think I need to stack more over the front foot and get on rail. Any other input gratefully received
Trying to focus on breathing and coffee cup.
I know it’s flat surfing. Waves were knee to thigh high. Surfing on a DHD Phoenix 5’8” 31.5L
Any advice is welcome.
Couple of turns from this morning.
Working on fixing my twist and passing the coffee cup at the top and the timing of the compression/ cardboard slide on the way down.
I feel like it's getting better... could just be fooling myself.
Finally starting to get some consistent forehand cutbacks in the water. I wouldn't say I learned it on the surf skate first, but once I started to get the feel for it in the water I could feel how the surf skate reinforced the mechanics during the weeks between surf sessions. I have the Carver CX trucks which are fun in the bowl, but I recently picked up a Carver C7 setup which I think is more responsive and fun on flatground. I feel like the C7 allows me to replicate the twisting motion and passing the coffee it little better than the CX. Been practicing some variation of this clip lately, and it's definitely helping in the water.
