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!

Would love feedback on this video from a session on the intermediate wave at the wave pool at American Dream Mall in sunny New Jersey. This is one of my better waves of the day where I’m trying to work on smooth take off, surfing a bit more vertically and extending/compressing. I am kind of struggling to just figure out what it’s best to work on with this wave…it’s over quick! I’d love any feedback on basic fundamentals and what I could focus on to improve next session. Thank you in advance for any input!

Kia Ora OMBEans.

Have recently started trying to undo all my old habits and calm my arms down a bit to try surf with more style and flow. Would love any suggestions or tips to try out on the next session. I feel my arms, in particular my lead arm is still in no man’s land.

Appologies for the blurred footage

This is a game changer when you realise there are no straight lines in nature

Hi all, quick question. I’m a little bit confused about the coffee cup idea. Is the coffee cup hand always the same as my back foot (in my case, being a natural footer that would be my right hand) or am i supposed to be visualizing the cup switching to my front hand, say in the case of a frontside cutback? Is there a video on the site that focuses specifically on explaining the coffee cup?

Hey Clayton Nienaber and team, I’m still working on my turns. I feel like I’m not quite there and feel like I’m losing speed coming off my turns. No real spray either. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Yeeeeew! 🤙🏼
