Last one from the wave pool.

Had a lot of fun there. Would definitely recommend for anyone thinking of going.

I did mostly intermediate sessions to work on a carving top turn/cutback, but I'll probably give some other settings a try whenever I get back there.

Going to shift my focus from the top turn to the bottom turn. I think I end up extending at the bottom of the wave and then suck my knees up rather than staying compressed and on rail through the bottom turn. I think this throws off my timing at the top of the wave.

What are good pattern interruptors to remember/train to fully open the shoulders when turning?Ā

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.

Visited the new skate park in Shibuya today, first time taping myself. Trying to get my front shoulder out of the way and eyes up and ahead. Any other pointers?

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 šŸ™šŸ¼

Has anyone been to the Atlantic Park Surf Lagoon in Virginia Beach?

I am heading there in a couple weeks. Planning to do some intermediate sessions and focus on forehand carving turns/cutbacks.

Would be curious to hear about anyone else's experience beforehand.

Yesterday a local beach surf school which is right next to a cafe/ restaurant organised a social meeting for Surfers and paddle boarders at my nearby break.

Unfortunately conditions were virtually flat, but I got to meet a bunch of people, some of whom I'd seen whilst surfing, but not really talked to.

We started with a group warm up, then people did whatever they wanted, so a few of us got in some paddling practice up and down the beach.

Then I had a go at working on my duck diving technique, although not with much success as the board kept twisting when I couldn't get my rear foot central ā˜¹ļø

Maybe next time I'll try with my knee and see if that works better.

Anyway, it was a nice get together and they hope to be doing it every couple of weeks šŸ¤™
