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!

Hey guys! So I’m looking more at the wave now which is opening me up more than last time I posted! There’s things I know I need to work on .. 1. getting back foot on tail pad (not in front of it like I’m doing) 2. Relax more 😆3. Try to get faster feet on the pop up and of course try not to hunch and have better posture overall.. for my next session I might just try to focus on one thing though and was wondering what would be the next biggest priority.. I have been prioritising looking at the wave and relaxing as much as possible and dont want to stop doing that want but feel I can maybe squeeze in one more thing now, my instinct is telling me to focus on getting that back foot to land on the track pad, but any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated 🙏🙏🥰🥰

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. What part of the wave should I look at when popping up backside? When I look down the line I tend to outrun the wave. When I look at the bottom of the wave I get hung up. I can’t drop in backside and look at the top of the wave so I’m not sure what to look at. Thanks for any advice.

So I turn, hold it longer than usual, come back around and…..no speed. Where did I go wrong?

These clips are several months apart and I probably averaged one or two sessions a week over that time frame.  Usually end up getting a couple turns/attempt per session, so maybe the equivilant of three or four wave pool sessions.  Hoping to get to one in the fall and speed up the learning curve.

Still looks like I am folding forward too much going into the turn, but I've been working on actively moving my right arm out of the way rather than letting it hang in place.  This has allowed me to look back at the wave more freely, and I think the board really follows where you look. Practicing on the surfskate has helped.

Pre-OMBE I would have bolted down the line on both of these waves. Changing my line has helped get the turn count up in these short beach break waves.

Chipping away at it.

First time in a skate park in about 15 years!

Just got my surfskate last week, and had a chance this morning to try compressing/extending through some of the little transition features. Kept things small, slow, and mellow as I didn’t have protective gear and wanted to ease into things, but it felt really good to start feeling things out.

Any obvious problem areas to think about going forward? Front-on enough? I know I botched the end of one of the turns pretty badly: just kind of folded at the hip and lost speed instead of getting a good pump out of the bottom.
