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!

Second session at Atlantic Park. Working on holding the bottom turn longer. Made some improvement from the first day and got my head around better on the top turns. I found if I tried to bank off the foam on the cutback I usually lost the section.

Made it to the Atlantic Park Surf Lagoon today. Have a couple more sessions this weekend.

Working on that first turn. I can see I need to get my front arm out of the way and follow thru with my back arm.

This was the intermediate wave, which I thought was a lot of fun.

Hi riders,

I went to the pump track today, it was my second time there. I feel that I’m getting a better timing on speed generation but still lacking speed on some parts of the track.

I wonder if you guys had some tips on what I should focus on the next time I go there to improve speed and flow.

Thanks 🙏🏼

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 🙏🙏🥰🥰

Following a suggestion from John Kuras, I invested in a set of Powell Peralta 64mm Dragon Wheels.

Even though they're 93a hardness, so technically softer than the Carver 95a Park Wheels I was using, I definitely found them faster and smoother! (Apparently it's something to do with the rebound on the urethane. Whatever...)

I wanted to try them out on the bowl I usually skate in, but unfortunately the drain was blocked and it was more like a paddling pool, so, instead, I tried them on the mini-metal half pipe.

Here's some video of my attempts, both frontside and backside https://youtu.be/MeBpABRdjqg

I'm a bit out of practice (been doing more surfing!), so I still need to work on the timing of the transitions, but John K also suggested adding a bit of "lift" from the back toe which I did find made a difference and I got further up the slope than I'd gone before.

Ok, so (yes, Clay, I know!) I still need to get my head lower, but I'm planning on getting to a different park with a better bowl hopefully next week, so maybe I'll be able to work on that there.
