Can I get links to discussions and lessons on surfing cross and cross-onshore waves with ridges, ledges, and lumps?

Im back on the surf skate after some months off because of injuries and now filming my sessions. I feel I am not able to generate more speed and have more control because im bending over at the hip to extend and/ or because im compressing at the top turn rather than maybe extending out coming down the ramp.

What do others think?

Hey all. I am 58 with an arthritic back, so it makes perfect sense to start skating! Jokes aside, I want to start giving it a go. I went to a local shop, and discovered that traditional surf skates have a pivoting front truck. I was thinking I was going to walk out of there with just a road cruiser, but the pivoting front truck through me off. They seem squirrely. Is this what I should purchase? The guy in the shop was saying, they are too squirly for the slightest of declines, and are NOT suited for ramps in parks either. Are Clayton and Anthony using skates with the pivoting front axle or more stable road cruisers? Any suggestions for Brands and dimensions are welcome as well. Thank you!

Hi Ombee friends,

With the front facing posture but feet needing to be angled somewhat sideways for balance, any thoughts on how to keep knees healthy & in proper alignment?

Hey friends, I'm going up for a week holiday to the Gold Coast, 2nd week of the school holidays, which falls on the first week of October. We will be staying in Burleigh Heads, so I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a surf school up there? OR if there is someone that might like to meet up or any other suggestions. How can I make the most of being up there? I've never been there to surf ever. I think I'm a progressing beginner, but would like to get better at going down the line and things like that. Anyway I've google a few places, but  I'm after recommendations from someone who might know what's up there. TIA!
