Any advice on what you should be doing to generate speed to get out of the foam when you get behind it. I do “scoots” and pray, but have no idea what the physics supports as an approach. The sooner you catch back up the more time you have to play.

First time back on a HPSB in awhile. Any tips appreciated!

Some surf skating footage from the park in Barnstaple.

I did some warm-up runs around the park to get the feel of it, then tried some backside and frontside turns in the bowl.

The bowl is much nicer than the one I usually ride in Portsmouth, bigger and with a "split level" setup, although it did take some getting used to.

As mentioned in my previous post, it's depressing when you feel like you're getting up the wall with your head low, but then see the video and it's... meh... 🙁

I think my main issue at the moment is simply gaining enough speed to be able to get further up so the centrifugal force will allow me to lean more, but I'm not sure how.

I've watched the surf skate videos of Ozzy and Kai in the OMBE bowl and they're getting so much more height with seemingly much less effort, so if anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to improve, please let me know!

In packing for two days of surfing in Cape Town as we speak. Anybody have any tips for waves I should check out? Last time I was there I spent some time at long beach at Kommetjie and had a blast but I think it'll be onshore there so planning too check other spots. Will have a car so we're pretty mobile.

Bettys Bay is on the list as an option, anything else off the beaten track I should be aware off?

Also: the Kalk Bay reef looks really cool, is it worth checking out or is it super sketchy?

Any tips would be very welcome!

Absolute light bulb moment from Clay’s new YouTube, lifting at the top of the wave!

Immediately made an impact in the bowl on the carver and can’t wait to try it in the water on Friday 💪🤙

Mick Fanning Wiggle Video.

Does anyone know where I can find that video of Mick showing the wiggle vs compression on the surf board? I know Clayton loves to use it as an example, but I can not find it anywhere to share with others.

I always mention in the surfskate Facebook community but being able to share that example would be nice just can't find it on YouTube or anywhere.

Thanks

How do I get info about upcoming surf trips? Just watched the Never Too Old - OMBE video with Karen 🏄‍♀️

Any advice on how to improve this?

Last weeks surf sesh. Didn't have a lot of waves this day... Was a day of the paddle... and duck diving. Seemed the biggest sets were always on my head... Typically. Was fun, and didnt have any expectations because of my fitness levels and the ocean was a bit rough. First wave I still have energy, second wave was after about 1.5 hours and the last was my last wave after roughly 2 hours.

Pop up exposes my level of fitness at the moment, I was almost unable to push myself up for Oreo. Grateful to be out in the water and for the lesson of embracing the suck never the less.
